Free Firefox VPN directly in the browser: need it or sneed it?>We’re excited to share that we’ve begun work on a new feature called Firefox VPN - a free, browser-only VPN capability built right into Firefox. While still in its early stages, this experiment reflects our broader commitment to bringing even more privacy and security protections directly into Firefox.https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/new-experiment-firefox-vpn-beta/td-p/107182
>opera vpn but gay
>>106920266> a freeLet me guess, someone just paid them to integrate this shit to spy on it's users? They just got the bag for perplexity, can't they wait a little?And what happened to Mozilla VPN?
>>106920266So it's basically a VPN, but only works in a browser? Kinda limiting.
>>106920266free vpns are a meme and just makes your browsing history visible to yet another third party.Here's the right setup: Tor -> exit node -> Vpn -> website.
Do you have to make an account to use it?
>>106920489>tor -> vpnyeah just throw away the benefits of tor why don't you...
>>106920489>>106920648enjoy your torrent speeds of 50kb/s
>>106920648the vpn only gets to see the ip of the exit node.Just make sure to find a non-kyc vpn that accepts xmr.
>>106920675I would be wary of using a VPN that is bundled with the browser. What would prevent them from replacing the root certificate and monitoring all traffic?
>>106920729a sense of decency?
>>106920796You’re talking about the modern Mozilla, which takes money from anyone and sells you to it's "partners"?
>>106920673there's no need to torrent anything in the age of streaming
>>106920729What stops them from doing that period?
>>106920729Nowadays, a lot of companies, just as an investment, buy a bunch of servers and shill it to clueless people (who obviously don't know about existing superior solutions) as a mean to privacy/security. It's basically free money from routing internet traffic.
>>106920796>Does the government like to speak anonymously? Do they ever have the motivation to, or is that something they wouldn't ever be interested in doing?>Does the government like to be unrestricted in what they can say? Or would they be fine with some of what they say being silently censored by someone who's not involved with them, for example if it's malicious or untrue?>Does the government ever have a need to say something that is untrue, without being muzzled?>Or is that just something they would never have any reason to want?>What is the largest category of thing that the government will not have a need to say, but would like to restrict others from saying (keeping in mind that files are speech)?>Would the government like to influence anyone, or to make anyone do what they want? Or are they instead inert accepters of whatever may pass and anything people may do and think?>Are some people, especially among those whom the government would like to influence, sufficiently ultrahyperretarded enough to slavishly follow and trust what anonymous speakers tell them?>Is there anywhere on the clearnet where users can up or down vote posts? If such a place exists, is there any reason why anyone would want to delegitimize it in the eyes of certain people? Or is everyone in fact happy to let whatever happens happen?Once you understand the answers to these questions you'll be closer to understanding this place, and what occurs in it. For example, the notoriously shity "tech/opsec advice" dispensed here.
I recently switched back to edge after using FF for a few months. There's no noticable difference between the two.
>but God forbid we have an RSS reader
>>106922627>RSS readertake a nap grandpa you're getting cranky
>>106921090>No nested tabs>No containers>No smart bookmarks
>>106920266nothing is truly free
This is just less-useful split tunneling.
>they could be doing things like fixing VRAM consumption, memory leaks and making the bookmark manager less shit by updating it for the first time ever since the browser came out>nah let's just keep bloating it with shit nobody asked for like AI features and integrated VPNI can't move away from Firefox because nothing else fits my exact needs, but holy shit they love making it harder and harder to support it.
Useful for turning on to click some suspicious link and then turning off
>freenothing's free. they're making money off of users somehow.
>>106920266hmm interesting. I wonder if I can scrape proxies from it
It's called a "virtual private network" because it isn't actually a private network. The data inside it is known to the operators.
>>106920907nothing, but since firefox is opensource, it would be spotted pretty quickly, and the software is running on your computer, any weird traffic can be detected, whereas the vpn service is running on their servers, its a man in the middle, that they control, In that case nothing you can do to prevent them from snooping traffic, altering requests ect, and nothing you can do to detect it.
>>106920266I would not trust a free firefox vpn, ever.
I'm sure all the Firefox shills who SCREEEEECHED about Brave adding a VPN and claimed it was 'bloatware' and 'spyware' will certainly be equally up in arms about this. Right?
>>106920266safari has had this for ages
>>106925367>be equally up in arms about this. Right?yes, thats why i use librewolf
>>106920318this tbqh
>>106922627Mozilla are completely unable to think for themselves. They finally implemented vertical tabs literally only because Edge also did it. The reason the new UI redesign is so grotequesly over-padded is because it just needed to occupy the exact same vertical space as recent versions of Chrome (this is real btw)The reason this VPN thing is getting added is because someone high-up saw an Opera GX ad and got spooked. They're obsessed with turning Firefox into a shitty exact clone of other browsers while destroying anything it actually did better than the competition.
>>106920266firefox is slowly transitioning into brave
>>106925432all of this when they could be rewriting the core of the browser to make it better and faster.
>>106920331need to know if the perplexity gets sent through the vpn
Sounds like something I might use for certain websites that block some countries from accessing them, but only if it's per tab and a single click to turn on
bastard bitch bloody
>>106920489glownigger detectedthey HATE it when you VPN into Tor
>>106920318So better?
>>106925376Do you mean Private Relay? That’s not free and you can’t even choose the location.
>>106920266No, waste of binary size.
anons ITT have already forgotten about kikezilla's attacks on free speech>fingerprint-based ban of the dissenter extension>the "we need more than deplatforming" article
>>106920266Imagine willingly piping your traffic to these guys
>>106926864>can’t even choose the location.can you with firefox's vpn?
>>106920266I think trying to get rid of all the leaks with just a browser would be a nightmare.>>106922627Feedbro works better than the native reader ever did.
