Chris Beard, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Mozilla Corporation, spoke in an interview with the German publication T3N about the intention to launch Firefox Premium (premium.firefox.com) in October this year, which will provide advanced services with paid registration. subscriptions. Details are not yet advertised, but as an example, services related to the use of VPN and cloud storage of user data are mentioned.
Paid VPN testing began in Firefox in October 2018 and is based on the provision of in-browser access through ProtonVPN VPN service, which was chosen due to the relatively high level of protection of the communication channel, no logging, and a general focus not on making a profit, but to improve security and privacy on the Web.
ProtonVPN is registered in Switzerland, which has strict privacy laws that prevent intelligence agencies from controlling information.
The beginning of cloud storage was laid by the Firefox Send service, designed to exchange files between users using end-to-end encryption. The service is currently completely free. The upload file size limit is set to 1 GB in anonymous mode and 2.5 GB when creating a registered account. By default, the file is deleted after the first download or after 24 hours have elapsed (file lifetime can be set from one hour to 7 days).
