Mozilla will launch a new subscription service called Firefox Premium. The upcoming service will offer users several benefits, such as cloud storage and VPN support.
It is probably important to note that Firefox Premium does not mean that Mozilla will charge for the simple use of Firefox, but it does seem to be looking for an alternative source of revenue. A subscription service with the browser and many extras seems to be the solution to Mozilla's funding problem.
The news was released by him Mozilla CEO Chris Beard in the German magazine T3Nwhere he said that if everything goes well, the Firefox Premium subscription service will be released next October. Until October, and if everything goes well, we will probably have the opportunity to test beta releases.
The price of the new service was not mentioned anywhere, but there will be a free version with restrictions on VPN storage and bandwidth.
Needless to say, the main points of promotion of the upcoming service will be its enhancement better safetyand privacy in your daily web browsing.
We don't know if Mozilla's idea will achieve its goal, due to the company's limited user base. Firefox has been the browser I've been using for years but currently runs on about 10% of desktops computers worldwide.
On the other hand Google Chrome, is number one, and runs on 67% of desktop computers worldwide.
Therefore, we notice that Firefox users are only at 10% globally, and of course many will be the ones who will prefer the free and limited services of upcoming Premium packages.
