    First peddling AI. Now vpns. My money is on they include world of tanks with popups from hello fresh or whatever next.

    Our metrics show that you drive the car to the grocery store once a week… So we started growing kale in your back seat. Just wait until you see our new model the chicken coupe.

      Mozilla has had a VPN for years.

      If your only exposure to the purpose of a VPN is via YouTube ad reads, why do you feel the need to contribute to discussion?

        I use vpns daily. I’m quite familiar with their use.

        I was pretty obviously poking fun at mozilla for some of their recent choices and rather iffy responses.

        Humor is subjective. Just because a joke doesn’t land for you doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be posted.

      The VPN that Mozilla (Firefox) has sold for years was rebranded Mullvad. Assuming they’ll still use Mullvad for this, I wouldn’t worry.

      EDIT: I’ve since seen somewhere else that Mozilla may not be using Mullvad for this (just to be clear for anyone reading this later).

      Gambling is pretty popular these days. I vote for a gambling sidebar. And if you don’t like it, you can just turn it off…

        Ugh. Sidebars. I feel like UI/UX ran out of good ideas and is staring to go full Caligula. A few more years and we’ll be back to chonky xp UIs with 40% less space for the content you are trying to interact with.

          We are already at chonky UIs, every webpage/app has 80% less information on the screen at any time than they did 20 years ago.

            Not if youre on your phone!

            Why their desktop version needs to look good on your phone, I’ll never figure out…
