Summary

Firefox 149 now integrates a free VPN service.
The free VPN offers over 50 gigabytes of data monthly.
This new feature is initially available in the US, UK, France, and Germany.

Mozilla is integrating a free Virtual Private Network (VPN) service directly into its Firefox web browser, starting with version 149. This significant update, which began rolling out on March 24, makes a VPN accessible within the browser for users in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. Mozilla plans to extend availability to other countries in the future.

The new Firefox VPN will offer users over 50 gigabytes of data each month without charge. Mozilla emphasizes its commitment to user privacy, stating that its VPN is built upon robust data principles, aiming to differentiate it from potentially less secure free VPN alternatives that might compromise user data.

While the free service is designed with trust in mind, it is still unclear if Mozilla will seek external audits or certifications for this offering. This development comes as other services, like Proton VPN, also offer free tiers, though these often come with feature limitations compared to their premium counterparts.
