#121. -- 2. Also, is ProtonVPN such a stronger contender than the rest of the field that Mozilla would endorse them? 3. And what is Mozilla's final relationship between you and ProtonVPN? Why are they relevant as a middleman?
They probably "teamed up" because Proton is paying FX a shit load of cash so they promote their higher price model to the all so valued users who are getting brainwashed into Chrome as we speak. Not sure if this "deal" will help with that.

It's actually exactly the same price, if you untick the "Anually" button on the ProtonVPN page.
Also, Mozilla actually audited ProtonVPN. I have no idea whether any other VPN have been audited by independent third-parties.

#15I feel Firefox could be quite a bit more attractive, if it did less. I don't want my browser integrated with one particular VPN. I don't want Pocket on by default and hard to get rid of.

#16I only use firefox. But I don't feel like I can strongly recommend it because of the long list of bad decisions.
- Google analytics baked into about:addons
- Sending data to Cliqz
- Pocket, as a service being added to the topbar
- Pocket, as a service being added to the default home/newtab page
- Firefox hello
- Completely banning unsigned addons
- Mr. Robot advert
- And now probably this
I want a browser that is reliable, high quality, respects my privacy, and nothing else. I don't want addons baked into it. I don't want to be spied on.

damned if they do, damned if they don't
It's almost as if giving users options and letting them opt out of things is the way to go. Who would have guessed.

#18There are multiple extensions and VPN products out there (some better and some worse), so why are they choosing who wins or loses here. I know it is because of $, but I hate the direction they have been taking lately.

Apparently not, since the opening comment complains about an optional VPN offering and a service integration you can turn off.

Agree. Isn't that why we have extensions for?
