Firefox’s built-in VPN takes the spotlight here, along with the broader privacy toolkit already inside the browser — from tracking protection and email masking to phishing awareness, Monitor and Sync. The episode also gets into why Mozilla chose to build privacy directly into Firefox and how that built-in VPN fits alongside the rest of its privacy tools.
