New Tab Identity

Browse the web from multiple VPN locations simultaneously. Goes well with Librewolf.

NOTE: There is a bug in Firefox versions 129, 130, and 131 that leaks DNS requests. This is fixed in Firefox 132. If you are using an older version, you should set network.dns.native_https_query to false to avoid DNS leaks.

NOTE: If you are using a uBlock Origin version before v1.60.0 then you need to uncheck "Uncloak canonical names" in the settings to avoid DNS leaks. This was fixed in v1.60.0.
