Specifically, Mozilla plans to scale back its investment in a number of products, including its VPN, Relay and, somewhat remarkably, its Online Footprint Scrubber, which launched only a week ago. Mozilla will also shut down Hubs, the 3D virtual world it launched back in 2018, and scale back its investment in its mozilla.social Mastodon instance. The layoffs will affect roughly 60 employees. Bloomberg previously reported the layoffs.

Yo, wtf. Their VPN, Relay and Monitor are basically the only Mozilla services I'd use and pay for. To me this sounds like this is the wrong direction. What do you guys think?

Instead of relay, just get your own domain like whatever.com and redirect anything sent to any user name to your real email address.

For example, I'm just in my podiatrists waiting room. I have them podiatrist@whatever.com as my email address. You don't need to configure new fake addresses just make up whatever you like.

That doesn't work for phone
