Firefox’s anti-tracking feature adds per-account VPN for more privacy (2022)

I was going to say… "This is awesome, but I wish they’d allow you to use any proxy settings with a container instead of requiring Mozilla VPN (even as someone who uses it.)"

Sounds awful lot like using the privacy argument to sell their own VPN because you can only install or and use Mozillas VPN with that. I hope they improve that, Brave wants to introduce the same crap. Pretty sure Vivaldi will also follow. Opera already got a VPN.

Also VPN is incorrect extension based tunnels are Proxies per-definition but I get that they call it VPN because their service is a VPN service and proxies usually have a negative sound to it because they have down-sides compared to VPNs.

Remember that Opera pulled the same stunt.
