Mozilla has decided to revolutionize its web browser. Many voices complained about its slow pace in releasing major updates, but that changed with the arrival of the new CEO. Soon it was announced that they would focus their efforts on designing a good AI-based browserAnd in a few days it will arrive Firefox 149 with another new feature that will surely be well received by at least part of the community.
Firefox 149 will come with a free VPN, with a 50GB limitIs 50GB enough? Absolutely, unless you intend to play content on streamingAn hour of HD video can consume several gigabytes, and 10 episodes of a Netflix, Disney+, or Prime Video series could easily fill up 50GB. But if you're just browsing regular websites, that amount is very generous. It's also worth noting that some services offer a free allowance of 2GB.
Firefox and its free VPN with Mozilla guarantee
Before we continue, we are obliged to talk about free VPNs. Although Mozilla says it is «Built on our data principles and our commitment to being the world's most trusted browser. It routes your browser traffic through a proxy to hide your IP address and location while you browse."Generally, when using a free service, we are the product. Therefore, there's no need to do anything 'serious,' but it can be useful if all we want is to bypass a block."
This VPN won't be like the other paid one Mozilla already offers, which they develop in collaboration with Mullvard. In theory. It will be more private.But those who want more peace of mind will have to pay for a full service. The bad news is that it will only be available initially in the United States, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The rest of us will have to wait.
Smart Window and Split View
Firefox 149 will also include the smart window, formerly known as the AI ​​window, but only partially. To try it, you have to go to the waiting listSomething I've already done, I don't know if out of personal curiosity or because I write for media outlets like this and it will allow me to generate content.
Firefox will finally introduce the split viewAs a Vivaldi user, I have to admit that I think the feature is a bit limited, but it's no worse than what we find in Chrome, Brave, or Edge.
Firefox 149 will arrive with all these new features on March 24..
