Mozilla introduces new Firefox VPN extension for Windows users with site-specific controls

Mozilla has introduced a Firefox extension for its VPN service, aimed at Windows users. This extension addresses common issues where websites misinterpret VPN traffic as suspicious, often resulting in access restrictions or slowdowns. This new extension allows users to select specific websites to bypass VPN protection, avoiding captchas and access issues, without disabling the VPN entirely. Preferences are saved, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments, and a URL bar indicator shows when VPN protection is off for a site.

Additionally, the extension offers the capability to assign different VPN locations to different websites within a single browser session. This feature is beneficial for accessing region-specific content or resources without altering the entire connection. Mozilla is focusing on enhancing the extension's stability, reliability, and performance and plans to extend support to Mac and Linux users in the near future.
