  • Mozilla has launched a paid subscription service called Mozilla Monitor Plus, which monitors and removes personal information from over 190 sites where brokers sell data.
  • The service is priced at $8.99 per month and is an extension of the free dark web monitoring service Mozilla Monitor (previously Firefox Monitor).
  • Basic Monitor members receive a free scan and one-time removal sweep, while Plus members get continual monthly data broker scans and removal attempts.

It's better when it's in their hands, because:

  1. It's Mozilla - one of the more trusty organizations out there.
  2. They don't get your information in some sneaky way from some source that was never supposed to be available to them.
  3. You know exactly how they make money from your data.
