Mozilla Set To Offer Ad-Free News Consumption Capability on Firefox For $5 Per Month

'As previously announced, Mozilla has started to tease the launch of a
new $5 monthly subscription to a variety of online news publishers
that involves no ads. The idea is that a single, low subscription fee
gives you access to a number of sites with the ads removed. From a
report:

You pay a monthly fee to Mozilla, and this money is shared with its
partners to help fund an ad-free internet experience. More than this,
Mozilla says that the subscription fee will also grant access to audio
versions of articles, article synchronization and more. In a page
which promises people the chance to "support the sites you love, avoid
the ads you hate", Mozilla says: "We've partnered with some of the
world's greatest publishers to bring you a better journalism
experience. We share your payment directly with the sites you read.
They make more money which means they can bring you great content
without needing to distract you with ads just to keep the lights on.'
