Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I’m new to Firefox and I’m just wondering what everyone thinks about the other services like Monitor, Mozilla VPN, Pocket, Relay etc.

Are they worth it? Do other people use these? Why or why not?

Thanks in advance!

Monitor is have I been pwned with extra steps, omnivore is an open source alternate to pocket, vpns are everywhere, there are other file sharing apps like relay

Relay isn't file sharing though. It's an email and phone number masking service. I signed up and played with it a bit. Didn't see much use in it til recently and I signed up for the premium. Figure I waste more than that a year on stupid things and this way somewhat supports the browser I enjoy using. 🤷‍♂️

Oh yeah. I was thinking of Send. There's definitely a bunch of other free services like relay, I use Duck Duck Go.
