Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy
That isn't alarmist, but almost all privacy features in Brave are already in Firefox as well. Looking at this page:
- Chromium customizations: Not necessary in Firefox
- Client-side encryption for Brave Sync: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-firefox-sync-keeps-...
- DeAMPing: I think AMP has been dead for a few years now
- Limiting network server calls: I think this is a bit tangential to privacy, limiting calls is generally good but it doesn't mean you're transmitting less information. Brave's post comparing different browsers' first startup network calls is from 2019, not sure how Firefox performs today.
- Query parameter filtering: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/toolkit/components/a...
- Better partitioning for better privacy: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Privacy/State_P...
- Referrer policy improvements: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/03/22/firefox-87-trim...
- Fine grained / temporary permissions API: This is nice, I don't think Firefox has this.
- Social media blocking: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enhanced-tracking-prote...
- Bounce tracking protections: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2020/08/04/firefox-79-incl...
- Limiting the life of Javascript: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-rolls-o.... Not explicitly mentioned but I believe Firefox does have this 7 day limit as well, in addition to other protections.
- Private windows with Tor: Firefox doesn't have built-in Tor integration, but the actual Tor Browser is built from Firefox.
I think Firefox also has one or two features that Brave does not, like Multi-Account Containers, and some paid services like https://relay.firefox.com/.

Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
> In a sense, it sounds like the advice of the services is less subscribing to them than trying not to have a few e-mails that map to your personal identity.
Firefox Relay is a great way to do that :) https://relay.firefox.com
Integrating that with Monitor is pretty high on at least my personal wish list.

Ask HN: How can we help Firefox not to dissapear?
> In what ways has mozilla meaningfully dared to try and expand their revenue streams?
I think that Mozilla VPN is pretty nice. It's based on Mullvad VPN, so they seem to know their audience (given that Mullvad has a pretty okay reputation among many tech savvy or privacy conscious folks, a lot of which probably use something like Firefox as well): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/
I guess there's also Firefox Relay, for those who might benefit from something like that: https://relay.firefox.com/
Not many other products to give them money for come to mind, though.

Ask HN: Streaming Player Replacement for Roku?
I've been dragging around a similar concern. My solution might be to use Mozilla's Relay for the email and Privacy.com for the credit card.
https://relay.firefox.com/
https://privacy.com/
That won't stop the data collection but it should mitigate how useful it is. Maybe?

Mozilla Monitor Plus: automatically remove your personal info from data brokers
-------------
OpenRep: https://onerep.com/
brokers: 190+ https://onerep.com/sites-we-remove-from
pricing: https://onerep.com/pricing
1 person: $8.33/mo
-------------
Mozilla Monitor: https://monitor.mozilla.org/
brokers: 190 data brokers (could not find a list of data brokers they cover)
pricing: https://monitor.mozilla.org/#:S1:
- "Monitor" - their FREE tier where they scan the data brokers and just inform you which ones have your info and you have to manually go in and remove your information from each one through whatever process each site uses.
- "Monitor Plus" - Automatic Data Removal - $13.99/month, or $8.99/month if you sign up for a year
Both tiers come with "Data Breach Alerts" which I guess is similar to haveibeenpwned's notify me.

Cannot add more email addresses to Firefox Monitor
Create a separate fresh profile and try adding a new address without changing any Firefox setting. If the problem persists, you can open this page and click on New issue to report this to the developers of Firefox Monitor.

LPT: Type the website name before your first name when creating online accounts so you know who leaked your data.
Adding onto this LPT: use https://haveibeenpwned.com/ frequently and sign up for https://monitor.firefox.com/ . Both have helped me train myself on better password security.
