Can anyone from Mozilla explain why a Firefox Account is required to use this?
- ndidi 7y agoAccountability? (Pun may or may not be intended)
- BlueGh0st 7y agoWell, it's part of the test program in beta, for one.
- giancarlostoro 7y ago(I don't work for Mozilla) The rumor I've heard on HN over the past few months is that Mozilla eventually intends to sell a paid version of Firefox with a VPN included. I'm suspecting this may involve a Firefox Account in the future.
- rosybox 7y agoI would be very happy to pay for a secure browser. I'm really tired of "free" products that we sell our private lives to.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoThis is part of why I decided to go outside of the norm and made a fresh Outlook account I dont share with anybody or any websites, and paid for storage. Eventually I want to have my email under my domain hosted by Microsoft just because they're not the same mess of Google, and I get all of the Office suite included.
- rosybox 7y agoI looked into the hosting domain by Microsoft, but for the non business version they require your domain registrar be godaddy and I'm just not into that. It's kind of a stupid thing they have, why can't they do a dns thing like anyone else, why do they require your domain registar be godaddy?
- giancarlostoro 7y agoI know right! I used to have domains.microsoft.com and that gave me 500 free emails for any domain... I'm waiting for them to fix this. I just want my email under NameCheap + Microsoft. GoDaddy was such an awful experience, and then years later they supported SOPA? No thanks.
