Firefox 149 will offer a free built-in VPN, split views, tab notes and optional AI windows

Depends on the context. For example most open sourced software is free because it helps with the development of the code or because making it free is to the benefit of everyone involved (Ex. the Linux kernel) Or using the 2 trustworthy (in my opinion) "free" VPN's that I know of (Windscribe and Prot

Windscribe joins Signal in threatening Canada exit over controversial surveillance bill

Windscribe joins Signal in threatening Canada exit over controversial surveillance bill
