Mozilla launches VPN for Windows, Android

Canada is one of the few countries getting a new VPN service from Mozilla. The organization believes its service stands above the many VPN offerings out there. Mozilla claims it's faster with fewer lines of code than the average VPN. And with its track record with privacy, it claims you can keep your private browsing secure. The organization won't partner with third-party analytics firms or keep user data logs. And those who haven't used a VPN before can figure it out.

Mozilla VPN supports up to five Windows and Android devices for US$5 (around CA$7) per month. And it lets you connect to over 30 servers around the world with WireGuard encryption securing the connection. The software is also available in the US, UK, Singapore, Malaysia, and New Zealand. It will come to more countries in the fall. iOS users will also get the app soon.

Microsoft launches Surface Go 2 and Surface Book 3, introduces new headphones

Microsoft updated the low-end and the top of the line Surface devices today and added a sprinkling of headphone products into the mix. Updated today is the Surface Go 2 now with a wider range of processors as well as a slighly larger display. Microsoft’s new Surface Go 2 will be available May 12, starting at US$399.

The Surface Book 3 brings updated processor and graphics card updates that give this flagship 2-in-1 up to 50% more performance where it counts. Surface Book 3 now also has a higher RAM ceiling. Equally important to the performance uptick is battery life. According to Microsoft,  the 13.5-inch variant will offer 15.5 hours of battery life, while the 15-inch variant will now offer 17.5-hours of battery life.Surface Book 3 starts at US$1,599 and will be available starting May 21.

Microsoft also announced new Surface Headphones as well as Surface Earbuds but Canadian availability of these products is still in question.
