I can't find a single reason why Mozilla should be wasting resources on VPN when there are already plenty of companies on that grind.
I can't find any good reason for encouraging people to circumvent network controls, or throw more networking complexity into what was previously very simple for users.
The constant marketing of 'you need a vpn' is super counter productive for users because they have no idea what it even is, what it can break, or why they needed it in the first place. I've run into plenty of folks that said they use vpn because someone offered it to them for free, not because they needed it for any reason.
It's stupid shit like this that makes the development of their key software languish.
- IgorPartola 6y agoI didn’t need a VPN until I did: Recently visited family in a different state and stayed with them for a week. They had a fast internet connection but something in their router made establishing a new TCP connection take forever. I bought a subscription to Mozilla VPN and viola, now my TCP connections open quickly again. Also bonus: I don’t pollute their ad results with my searches. While yes I could dig into their router problem, they had no issues with how things worked and I needed to get work done.
