Specifically, Mozilla plans to scale back its investment in a number of products, including its VPN, Relay and, somewhat remarkably, its Online Footprint Scrubber, which launched only a week ago. Mozilla will also shut down Hubs, the 3D virtual world it launched back in 2018, and scale back its investment in its mozilla.social Mastodon instance. The layoffs will affect roughly 60 employees. Bloomberg previously reported the layoffs.

Yo, wtf. Their VPN, Relay and Monitor are basically the only Mozilla services I’d use and pay for. To me this sounds like this is the wrong direction. What do you guys think?

      where is the proof for that? they literally use Mullvad’s servers as far as I know. Don’t spread something bizzare like that ig you don’t have evidence

      edit: are you talking about the mail relay? in that case‌, email is by default not private and goes through many servers that can read your emails. The only real benefit of using a private email like Proton is that your mailbox is encrypted and that if you happen to email another person whos set up PGP then your email would be a little private. and the benefit of using an alias is to simply not have a common identifier through your email address online when using different services. But if you want to send something super confidential that you don’t want jumping through Google Microsoft and Amazon’s servers, don’t use ANY email. Period.
