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?

This sucks to hear as I've been paying for their relay service for a while now. I'm wondering if I should work to transfer all emails over to another service...

I was also considering signing up for Mozilla monitor, but now I'm not so sure if it's just gonna get canned soon or not.

Mozilla monitor is not a great deal

That's fair I would've used it more for supporting Mozilla and because I trust them with that data.
