Favorite can be set as default view in mini, and it now supports suggestions for TikTok and Kobo.

Mozilla is planning to release a premium VPN subscription for Firefox. Chris Beard, the CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, said that it’s aiming to launch the new version by October, with features like a VPN and secure cloud storage and other subscription services such as paywalled content access.
“In 2019, we are continuing to explore new product features and offerings. As part of this, small groups of browser users are invited at random to respond to surveys, provide feedback and potentially test proposed new features, products or services,” the company said.
Mozilla has previously experimented with promoting Proton VPN’s premium service to some Firefox users for a $10 per month subscription, but the new Firefox Private Network appears to be something different, developed by Mozilla itself.
There’s no word as yet on pricing for the upcoming paid version of Firefox, as they seem to be gauging interest across a wide range of services by offering a survey. If you choose to complete the survey, you’ll get an option to sign up for email alerts when the new service comes online, which is likely to be in beta this fall.

ExpressVPN is a big name in the VPN industry as it offers highly advanced set of features, high-performing servers (all 3,000+ of them), and the ability to unblock streaming services like Netflix and Hulu from anywhere in the world. Established in 2009 and run by a British Virgin Islands-based company, ExpressVPN has been offering security and privacy for a long time now. In terms of speed, security, privacy and features, ExpressVPN is outstanding. It offers P2P support for torrenting, uses enterprise level encryption, has a kill switch, uses DNS leak protection and has a clear no logging policy. Yup, Express seems to have it all. It almost covers everything you’d expect from the top VPN service, but the only drawback is the number of simultaneous connections it allows.

Uninstalling unwanted programs is one of the ways to speed up your computer system and free up disk space. Most Windows users just uninstall programs by launching their uninstallers from the Add/Remove Programs Control Panel. However, this way cannot remove a program completely. It can leave some entries in Windows Registry or some files in various folders in your hard disk drives, thus influencing your system’s stability and slowing down your computer. And the worse thing is uninstalling programs from the built-in Control Panel utility doesn’t work all the time. Some potentially unwanted programs may come back each time you restart the computer after removal or throw you error message pop-ups to stop the uninstalling process. Given this situation, you need to use a third-party uninstaller like Uninstallor to help you prevent useless files from building up and programs from leaving useless libraries and other files behind. In this post, I will be reviewing this tool, examining the many benefits to this application, so you’ll know how good Uninstallor is, and why it stands out from various removing utilities available online.
