Specifically, Mozilla plans to scale back its investment in a number of products, including its VPN, Relay and, somewhat remarkably, its Online Footprint Scrubber, which launched only a week ago. Mozilla will also shut down Hubs, the 3D virtual world it launched back in 2018, and scale back its investment in its mozilla.social Mastodon instance. The layoffs will affect roughly 60 employees. Bloomberg previously reported the layoffs.
Yo, wtf. Their VPN, Relay and Monitor are basically the only Mozilla services I’d use and pay for. To me this sounds like this is the wrong direction. What do you guys think?
I hope Mozilla VPN doesnt get shut down because its pretty much Mullvad but you are also helping Mozilla. I also like their relay because their domain is not as blacklisted as simplelogin and addy.io are
Relay will get blacklisted soon enough.
so far it has been working for me. Discord for example wouldnt accept simplelogin or addy but it accepted relay
Does it hold to the same standard as Mullvad tho? Like no logging policy and regular audits?
It’s hosted on AWS’ proprietary mail service, soooo…
where is the proof for that? they literally use Mullvad’s servers as far as I know. Don’t spread something bizzare like that ig you don’t have evidence
edit: are you talking about the mail relay? in that case, email is by default not private and goes through many servers that can read your emails. The only real benefit of using a private email like Proton is that your mailbox is encrypted and that if you happen to email another person whos set up PGP then your email would be a little private. and the benefit of using an alias is to simply not have a common identifier through your email address online when using different services. But if you want to send something super confidential that you don’t want jumping through Google Microsoft and Amazon’s servers, don’t use ANY email. Period.
It literally uses Mullvad’s servers. The only shortcoming is that it requires an account and there is no way to pay with Monero or cash, like most other VPNs. But I just used an alias email and a visa gift card so still pretty anonymous I would say
