Mozilla launches Firefox Private Network VPN for $4.99 per month December 3, 2019 https://www.ghacks.net/2019/12/03/mozilla-launches-firefox-private-network-vpn-for-4-99-per-month/
How would this be any better (for an American-based user) than the free VPN from Windscribe or the built-in Opera VPN?
Two good points made by zapjb and Reality above, as there are a lot of folks (me included) who will continue to use Win 7, and certainly don't care to be bombarded by incessant ads in the FF browser.
define "better"? better for what? bypassing geo-restrictions? latency? trustworthiness? privacy? speed?
Exactly. Imagine how annoying that would be. At least if you hit on a site you don't like you can get away from it but, huh, a browser that's with you for the good part of your online time nagging you with flippin ads? Pass.
I don't understand this comment. Does this mean UBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, Privacy Badger & other similar programs will no longer work once FF starts selling their VPN?
It will work. Some Mozilla VPN ads will probably be served inside built-in Firefox start page and maybe uBlock can't block these, but I am fine with it as long these ads will not track me or consume too much bandwidth.
