They seem very confused. They say it's available for everyone with one click and they also say it's rolling out gradually.

If you're a technical user and you don't have it, does that mean they're testing it on the rubes first? If so, what does that say about their intentions?

I see

Turn it on in Firefox with a single click.

but that doesn't say it's available to everyone?

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah I don't see where to make that single click.

[-] Vincent@feddit.nl 2 points 4 weeks ago

Right, presumably because it's not available to everyone yet, as they say in the post?

[-] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 weeks ago

And yet, that contradicts the claims they also make that it's available to everyone. Even the topic title, which, depending on how you access Lemmy, might show right above this text (at least that's how it appears for me).

So they announced a feature that isn't available to everyone, and they do say that, but they also say it is. So why say anything at all? Or say it when it is available?

Can you quote the exact line that you interpret as saying that it's available to everyone? Because again, I don't see it. The title I see is "A free VPN you can trust, now built into Firefox", i.e. with no mention of "everyone".

Usually, they just say it's rolling out, because some people will be getting it (i.e. they can't say nothing), but they don't know when everybody will yet, because that depends on how well the rollout to the first people goes.

  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
