Firefox 149 adds built-in free VPN with 50GB monthly data (www.omgubuntu.co.uk)

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.

They added dangerous bullshit that nobody wanted with no good ability to turn it off, and then, year or so later, added a switch to turn it off.
Most of the Firefox users don't want for llm to read web pages for them and group their tabs based on whatever bullshit rules it hallucinated this day. People go to Google and Microslop for this treatment.

I definitely wouldn’t call “local llm features” dangerous.

Edit: I suppose the tab grouping may not be local? Their docs don’t really specify one way or another. So I could be wrong in that one. The rest is definitely local, minus the “you have to sign in with an llm account” sidebar chat thing.
