Anyone else excited about Firefox finally adding support for the popover="hint" property? No? Just me? Ok.

    50GB is a lot of free data. And if it's actually still from Mullvad like before, maybe not a bad deal. (Edit: it's not from Mullvad.) Mozilla already bakes it halfway into their Containers extension, so maybe they can keep it as an extension this time.

    Less thrilling is a whole new AI "Smart" window type that's basically just an AI sidebar that's no longer in the sidebar. Again, why not an extension?

    Anyone know what provider the VPN is? Mozilla's paid VPN is just a mullvad reseller, so it would be cool if the free VPN was mullvad too.

    Thanks, relevant snippet:

    Mozilla already offers a paid VPN service in partnership with Mullvad. Firefox’s free VPN won’t be using Mullvad’s infra though; it’s hosted on Mozilla servers around the world (if beta testing of the feature done in late 2025 tracks).

    "Privacy upgrades built in" and "smart window" absolutely do not mesh. The plot mozilla... you have lost it.

    Split view puts two webpages side by side in one window, making it easy to compare, copy and multitask without bouncing between tabs. Rolling out in Firefox 149 on March 24.

    If I remember right this was a thing in Mozilla when they introduced tabbed browsing in it back in early 2000's.

    Would love split view to come to mobile for those of us with foldable phones. It's the one thing I'm envious of Chromium browsers.

    Little fox is very cute indeed.

    The freemium VPN also sounds pretty neat, could be a good selling point for some people!
