Firefox’s Test Pilot Program Returns
> whether it’s through phishing emails or data breaches<p>A VPN won't protect you from those, at all.<p>> The Firefox Private Network proxy server is provided by our partner Cloudflare. Their strong privacy controls limit what data they collect and how long they keep it. [...] The data Cloudflare processes for the Firefox Private Network is subject to Mozilla’s Privacy Policy and is not covered by the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.<p>So where is Mozilla's privacy policy that Cloudflare's policy says applies here? Mozilla has an older VPN service with a privacy policy, but I cannot locate this one.<p>> You may often find yourself taking advantage of the free WiFi at the doctor’s office, airport or a cafe.<p>Which is why DNS over HTTPS ("DoH") should be the default but isn't. Combine that with DNS-Sec/Encrypted SNI DoH bootstrap (or better, don't bootstrap and provide a IP for the DoH endpoint). Then send most traffic via HTTPS and this is a solved problem, without giving an additional third party/parties access to your internet traffic.<p>This is likely the "least objectionable" VPN I've seen. But ultimately Firefox, if correctly configured, is already a secure browser even over unsecured WiFi, they just haven't taken the steps to make it secure by default.<p>And, yes, they could absolutely do both (secure out-of-box experience AND VPN product). I am simply pointing out they could solve this for all of their customers for almost free, Vs. this potentially paid offering.
