Firefox Private Network: Mozilla has restarted a trial program of Firefox, which was previously stopped in January 2019.
The new feature it's currently testing is 'Firefox Private Network', a private mediation service powered by Cloudflare.
The company says the new service may be useful on networks that you can't trust, such as a public Wi-Fi network.
Once connected to the service, it hides your IP address and the traffic between your computer and the proxy server is encrypted.
The browser will establish a secure connection to the nearest Cloudflare data center and the Cloudflare proxy server will protect you from malicious third parties.
Key Features of Firefox Private Network

If you're waiting at the airport or in a coffee shop, your internet connection will be protected when useste Firefox browser thanks to a secure web tunnel. All your sensitive information like the web addresses you visit, personal and financial information will be protected.

Your IP address is like a home address for your computer. One of the reasons you might want to keep it a secret is to prevent ad networks from tracking your browsing history. Firefox Private Network will hide your IP address by providing protection from third-party trackers across the web.
Activate the service at any time. Clicking on the browser extension can turn the service on or off if you don't need it.
The feature is reminiscent of Opera's slightly embedded VPN, which, despite the name, it's also an encrypted proxy server.
Firefox Private Network is released as a browser extension. Currently limited to Firefox users residing in the US. During the duration of trials, the service will be available free of charge. In the future, Mozilla may start charging for the security service.
