Mozilla FireFox web browser will soon have an inbuilt VPN more like the Opera inbuilt VPN for web browsers.
The company announced in a blog post that it will run an experiment testing an in-browser VPN service with a small group of Firefox users.
The experiment is set to kick off on 24 October, with an offer to purchase a monthly subscription to a VPN service.
The selected users will be able to download and install the VPN software after signing up for a paid subscription, which will have support for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
Mozilla said the VPN can be easily turned on and off, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.
However, Mozilla decided to partner with ProtonVPN to deliver the services
Mozilla will be the party collecting payment from Firefox users who decide to subscribe. A portion of these proceeds will be shared with ProtonVPN, to offset their costs in operating the service, and a portion will go to Mozilla.
