Firefox’s Sneaky VPN: Mozilla’s Secret Weapon or Just Another Browser Add-on?
Mozilla is gearing up to test Firefox VPN, a built-in feature designed to make browsing as secretive as a spy in sunglasses. Selected users can try it out soon, but be warned: No foreign Netflix binges yet! This free VPN will debut on desktops with plans for mobile in the future.

Hot Take:
Mozilla’s sneaky move to slip a VPN into Firefox is like adding a secret compartment to your digital trench coat. With a free VPN in your browser, you can now browse the web in stealth mode, like a cyber ninja! But let’s hope this beta doesn’t get stuck in the “loading” zone and ends up slower than a dial-up connection.
Key Points:
- Mozilla is beta testing a built-in VPN for Firefox, making it a free, browser-confined feature.
- Firefox VPN differs from the paid Mozilla VPN and is set to enhance privacy within the browser.
- Selected users will test the feature, with VPN locations defaulting to performance-based options.
- Mozilla plans to store user logs for three months, focusing on essential technical data only.
- VPNs are a hot topic in the UK amid new regulations, with discussions around potential bans for minors.
