Privoria vs Mozilla Monitor: Removal vs Monitoring

Mozilla Monitor is a free, trusted tool from the makers of Firefox. It alerts you when your information shows up in a data breach, and it runs a scan that reveals where data brokers are holding your details. What it no longer does is remove that data for you. Mozilla discontinued its paid removal tier, Monitor Plus, in December 2025, so today Monitor shows you the problem and leaves the opt-outs to you. Privoria is built for exactly the part Mozilla now hands back: a real person does the removals.

Seeing your exposure vs. clearing it

Mozilla is genuinely good at the first half. Its scan shows you, for free, where you are listed, which is a valuable thing to know. But knowing is not removing. After the scan, the manual opt-out work, site by site, is yours to do. Privoria takes it from there: a real person works through the removals for you, on every case, and keeps watching so your data does not quietly reappear.

What happened to Monitor Plus

For a while, Mozilla offered automated removal through a paid tier called Monitor Plus, powered by a third-party vendor. Mozilla discontinued it on December 17, 2025, and refunded subscribers. If you were relying on Monitor Plus to keep your data off broker sites, that protection has ended, and you now need a replacement that actually does the removing.

Where Mozilla Monitor is strong

Credit where it is due. Mozilla Monitor is free, it comes from one of the most trusted names in privacy, its breach alerts are built right into Firefox, and millions of people use it to get a first look at their exposure at no cost. If all you want is free breach alerts and a one-time scan, it is a fine place to start. Privoria is the better fit if you want the data actually removed and kept off, by a real person rather than a to-do list left to you.
