Settings, About Firefox. Tap the logo several times until it enables the debug menu. Back to settings, Nimbus Experiments. Find the VPN setting at the bottom of the list and you should be able to turn it off there.

A super straightforward process, 100% seriously good design by Mozilla.

Wtf does those settings even do? I can enable a setting called control, and is then prompted to enable telemetry. Clicking on telemetry crashes Firefox... I guess I'll have to live with the ad

Thanks! All that to disable some advertisement built into the browser. Utter bullshit.

bullshit. a hidden multi step process to turn off a paid subscription feature no one asked for should not be fucking hidden

it should be a simple switch in settings to turn off. not a multistep turning on debug menu level process.

Sometimes a person says the opposite of what they mean.

This is the Internet, with how batshit insane people are you can never tell. That's why we have "/s"

People always say exactly what they mean 100% of the time.

[–] green_link@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Pro should learn to use e a fucking "/s" then

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Bullshit, no they don't.

paid subscription

isn't the one built into firefox free and called firefox VPN? and isn't their paid option using mullvad's infrastructure Mozilla VPN?
