Is this not exactly the same as WeTransfer?

  This is open source and encrypts your files so that Mozilla can't read them.

    It would be foolish to depend on that for any use case where it actually matters whether Mozilla can read the files, though.

    TBH for most people that use WeTransfer I don't think this is a major concern, though it maybe should be. This smacks of Mozilla misjudging the market again and wasting a lot of time and money on things that just won't work at scale. Annoying because they are by far the richest 'tech charity' and have a lot of really amazing engineers. More Rust and Servo (concepts that very few people can execute on), less random startup ideas, I think.

      > This smacks of Mozilla misjudging the market again and wasting a lot of time and money on things that just won't work at scale. It's an experiment, part of the Test Pilot program. A relatively low-budget MVP to test the waters and see if the concept is worth exploring. If not, the experiment ends and the organization moves on. The program exists precisely to counter your concerns here while ensuring Mozilla can continue to innovate in new areas.
