Firefox 149 adds built-in free VPN with 50GB monthly data (www.omgubuntu.co.uk)

Firefox’s free VPN will offer 50 gigabytes of monthly data, which is pretty generous for a browser-based VPN. A Mozilla account is required to make use of it, which isn’t a hardship (they’re free), but is a point of friction some may wish to know upfront.

Looking forward to seeing people complain that they got caught torrenting while the "Firefox vpn" was turned on because nobody understands how anything fucking works any more.

Right, this is just a proxy, isn’t it?

If it's running inside Firefox, it can only encrypt/modify Firefox's traffic.
