Beep. Bop! I am not a bot.
It seems like your link contains lots of trackers.
Here is the clear URL for people who are allergic to tracking:
It's coming Mozilla VPN (vpn.mozilla.org), on which you have to pay in order to use it. I'm agree with you, Mozilla has to stop its dependency on Google and the only way is privacy-focused products (as a VPN).
What this does is contain Facebook into its own kind of browser where it can’t talk to other websites except Facebook. So for example, if you’re on a news website and they have a Facebook Like button, it has a Facebook tracker, and Facebook Container makes sure the tracker can’t talk to your Facebook tab.
VPNs are overrated anyway, they’re not a magic privacy machine. All they do is connect you to the internet from someone else’s computer. The value that you get from it is hiding your websites from ISPs and securing unsure websites (which are highly rare at this point).
Because it routes traffic thru someone else’s computer, you should make sure that if you use a VPN it’s from a trustworthy company. Plenty of them sell your data especially if it’s free. Some claim to have a no log policy but have been caught logging all websites.
Mozilla (makers of Firefox) do have a VPN but it’s $4.99 a month https://vpn.mozilla.org/ :)
This is worrying for every FFx based browser... :-(
The "best" option for Mozilla, from a user point of view, could be to transition FFx to a Chromium based browser, if they want to keep it free, which doesn't make much sense.
The alternative on which I'd bet is that they'll soon make it a "VPN only" browser that will use their own paid VPN (https://vpn.mozilla.org/).
The days of "free" Internet are slowly coming to an end...

Is this not it?
> Firefox has one built in now
No it doesn't what are you talking about? Mozilla offers a paid VPN as a desktop application separate from Firefox, there is no VPN, free or otherwise, built into Firefox.
I do. Google encodes links to become the Man In The Middle, Track Clicks and become the Arbiter of Content. Then later their Links can expire making the content harder to find.
Fuck Google.

Edit 2: Google Chrome tracks everything you do even in Incognito -- consider Firefox + VPN or equivalent to take back your privacy. Cheers :)
+1 to this. And lets be honest, if you're worried about privacy use a VPN. Mozilla itself provides one. An ISP could do reverse lockups on an IP to figure out much of this information anyway.
