Come on Mozilla, hurry up! I want to give you money for goods and services (I also donate monthly [1]), but I'm not that interested in a VPN (I can and do also pay Mullvad). Give me that real internet stuff - email, calendar, file sync, chat(?) - give me Firefox Premium. Bundle in the Lockwise password manager. I'd pay good money to see a company fill the void of paid, privacy first essential internet services and I…

How about FastMail? They have a stellar email service. They also offer contacts and calendars, though I don't personally use those (I use iCloud for that).
Very happy Fastmail user. Not so happy that so many different services don't interoperate with it. Things like Calendly or many standalone Calendar apps. Seems like it is Apple, Google, Outlook or nothing.
Isn't it down to the app to support those standards?

I was just about to change to something different from LastPass, pretty much convinced about Bitwarden from previous HN mentions, until you mentioned Lockwise :-) care to share some pros and cons or comparison between these two?
The major pro for me is that I know exactly how it is encrypted end to end, and have control over how and where it is stored, and can move the storage as I please, all entirely for free.

#264As a security person, I am somewhat baffled by the popularity of VPNs. I have no idea why anyone would use them for general internet usage, and I suspect the majority of VPN service users are misinformed about what they think they are gaining. Any VPN subscribers want to fill me in? The only thing I can think of is hiding the source of pirated media being shared via bittorrent.
I use a VPN daily because without it, there is no Twitter/HackerNews/Reddit/Youtube/... .

What products and services do you want from Mozilla?

If Firefox integrated with Keychain, it'd probably be my default browser again. I'd happily pay. Once Keychain got good enough, I transitioned to Safari 98% and dropped 1Password. iCloud syncing is nice too. -- Anecdotally, it just seems like a lot of web sites are poorly tested against Safari, so I run into weird stuff. Also, Safari now inevitably abends, seemingly after binging YouTube. I favor Safari, mostly becau…

I want to migrate from Gmail but I have my Gmail address tied up to so many things. How do you make the move ?
I went through all accounts in my password manager and changed it. Not so bad. It doesn't need to be done quickly.

I’ve used Fastmail for years now on a work account. It’s best feature is that it’s not Google. First, no phone support. Hardly acceptable when even Google has this. Second, no collaboration suite like Drive/Docs. Third, no addons I’m accustomed to having in my daily driver email suite. Things I miss include schedule to send later, default reply all, and no priority inbox. Im stuck using Google for email and maps. I h…
I feel a bit different: Email is a standard. You are talking about an app. Send later is the job of the application,not the standard. Same with reply all. Intelligent priority inbox is _hard_ but i. Principle the same. When you use gmail you conflate the standard with the app.
If you want reliable email service without the nice app, there are much cheaper alternatives.
