Firefox’s free VPN will offer 50 gigabytes of monthly data, which is pretty generous for a browser-based VPN. A Mozilla account is required to make use of it, which isn’t a hardship (they’re free), but is a point of friction some may wish to know upfront.

Still better than the Chrome-alikes, but all the same I've switched to Librewolf. Problem is, foss mozilla teams like Librewolf are small and underfunded, and their ability to continue sanitizing and debloating the app forever is not garaunteed. A new vanguard FOSS browser project is needed, ideally one that continues the Netscape lineage of open and non-coercive web standards with a more durable and democratic organizational structure.

Ladybird alpha is schedueled for 2026. Hopefully that has a beneficial impact.

How is it better than something like Vivaldi

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 1 points 7 hours ago

Vivaldi is Chromium, which I avoid because I consider it an advertising corporation's attempt to erode open web standards.
