- 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.

Can you elaborate on the statement? I'm not connecting the dots.
Maybe it's about firefox coming pre-installed in ubuntu, not sure either
No, they're talking about how Ubuntu doesn't let you uninstall Firefox, and constantly push ads for it down your throat, and how Ubuntu always opens web search results in Firefox regardless of your default browser, and how... Oh wait
So you don't know how to uninstall Firefox on Ubuntu?
Where do these "Ubuntu ads" display in the operating system? Are you talking about the software browser? An application used to get software suggestions is suggesting software? Or something more nefarious?
To me, your post just says, "I haven't used Linux much," because I've never encountered any of these problems.. but I'm always open to being wrong.
Edit : Just wanted to add that I now see that I missed a joke. I appreciate the helpful replies!
They're being satirical.
They're saying Ubuntu does those things then ending it with "oh wait... [they don't! That's what Microsoft does!]"
It was a joke, as the other guy said, i use linux as my main os anyways.
I also didn't get they were joking, a /s would have been helpful
I thought the fact that Ubuntu does none of those things, and the "oh, wait..." Made it clear enough, I'll add a /s next time though
The worst part is the bug thats not a bug that remaps "/" to the Firefox spell check directory... Gross.
