Firefox will launch Firefox Premium paid subscriptions to provide advanced features
Although Firefox and Google Chrome are the biggest competitors. And now the relationship between Firefox and Google is not so good, so Firefox is also thinking about different ways to get a steady income. Firefox is also planning to offer new value-added services to users for new paid projects, which will be subscribed to Firefox Premium.
The CEO of the Mozilla said in an interview that Firefox Premium will offer a range of services including online storage and VPN. The online storage may be related to cloud storage, that is, providing users with network storage space so that users can save their private files in the cloud. However, this is only a guess because Mozilla has not explained it in detail. At present, there are more explanations about the VPN service of Firefox.
The Firefox browser indicates that when a user is detected to use public WiFi and access the online banking service, the browser will automatically start the VPN service for protection. It is well known that public WiFi does not have any security, so there is a hidden danger in accessing online banking, and a virtual tunnel can be encrypted through the VPN service.
We also tested VPN. We can tell if you’re on a public Wi-Fi network and want to do online banking and say, “Wow, you really should use VPN.” You can imagine we’ll offer a solution that gives us all a certain amount of free VPN Bandwidth and then offer a premium level over a monthly subscription. We want to add more subscription services to our mix and focus more on the relationship with the user to become more resilient in business issues.
According to the currently known news, Firefox will provide some free traffic to all users, and will only be charged when the amount of free traffic is exceeded. Therefore, users can decide whether to pay for Firefox Premium to get more VPN usage traffic, etc. according to their actual usage. According to Firefox’s position, the first is to provide users with a more reliable privacy environment and then charge, the fee can allow the Firefox browser to maintain development and operation. The above services are expected to be officially launched around October this year.
