Yeah, hopefully their new CEO will manage to right the ship, but I have pretty much lost confidence...

I had exactly the same reaction. It looks like they're going to propose, at some point, a bundle with VPN and Relay for a more realistic price.

I fully agree with you about the Monitor Plus thing. when they released the blogpost I was like "cool, I might sign up to this!" then I saw the price and winced.

The more Mozilla news that I hear, the more I'm wondering how much longer they will stay relevant. Cash grabs like this are not going to endear their users to them. Of course Microsoft misleading people into using their browser is right in line with their business model. They have always been deceptive and so I'm really not surprised.
