Today I was presented with a Firefox promo for their VPN. It claimed a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. Oh...it costs money?!? I don't see any mention of that ANYWHERE -- not even a "What does it cost" link [and the "Get Mozilla VPN Now" link is NOT the same -- it's a "step-into-the-slime-to-find-out", NOT a "get-info-without-committing"]!!

That always gives me the impression of sleaze. Make's me feel like I'm being duped into something. Makes me NOT want to click! And annoys the hell out of me. I want to know UP FRONT, what it's going the cost me, once the "Free Trial" wears off. Otherwise I ain't biting!!

I've had great faith in Mozilla being a trustworthy player -- an honorable alternative. But, this?!? It gives me the impression the Mozilla name is now owned by hucksters -- as so often happens with trustworthy brands.

Here's a link to the promo that triggered my outrage:
