Can't wait for this. The PIA extension stopped working in Firefox months ago, and PIA said they have no ETA for a fix.
PIA was also acquired by a malware company: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21679682

#12Given the high ethical standard of Mozilla I’m not sure how popular this will be. For example, a while back there were research showing nord was setting up users as proxies, there by making it impossible for Netflix to block these residential ips. I don’t think Mozilla will do this.
Well, they use mullvad.net (I’m a customer), and they seem pretty trustworthy while Nord was always the opposite of trustworthy.

FTA: "we are [...] committing to never track your browsing activities"
But based on your comment it seems like you harbor a deep distrust for Mozilla, in which case obviously you shouldn't use their products?

Yeah this comment makes no sense. That would be terrible publicity for Mozilla. Also, Reddit uses HTTPS (like every other mainstream website) so Mozilla/Mullvad can't see what you're posting or even what your username is.
Essentially their former CEO was/is against gay marriage and donated to some organisation that was campaigning against it.
People found out, some employees weren't happy also some sites put up a message when Firefox users visited.
OkCupid (a dating site) straight up blocked Firefox users saying that they prefer users to use other browsers.
So as Mozilla is a company. They decided to get rid of the CEO. Because he was now bad for business.
However for some people in the tech world. This was an unforgivable sin: an attack on free speech.

#15Every single time I start researching VPN services I end up more confused and with more questions than before because basically every vouched service has the same amount of negative comments too. Like feels like the whole sector is a honeypot (lol) of shady stuff and also they figthing against each other (or not?). So I just wait until when turns out Mullvad is also one of the bad guys.

#16How do we know this is safe from bad actors? If it's in the U.S. is it safe from discovery? For example Watchtower tried to use 'copyright Infringement' to force reddit to give a usernames IP and account information. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkdgWccrJAy53-jeBxM3Pk_...
VPN's are the only way of protecting what should be protected speech. You have to not keep logs or anything that allows a court to find the identity of a user.

I use ProtonVPN. Same company as ProtonMail. Highly reputable with a business model around doing privacy and encryption well.

> promote legal views that Mozilla disagrees with How would they know?
The parent is transparently concern trolling so it's not worth engaging with, but to answer your question it's important to remember that VPN providers have access to all of your traffic. Even if you use HTTPS and other encrypted standards you can probably infer a lot of personal information about a user by just monitoring when and where they connect to.
It's even arguably a bit worse than an ISP because any given internet connection may be shared across many users, and users often move between several connections managed by different entities. VPN on the other hand are generally personal and keeps tracking you regardless of whether you use your home connection, mobile data or a free WiFi connection.

#20Forget the VPN--I already have a VPN provider and I have no interest in changing. Offer a paid e-mail service, on the other hand, and I'd sign on up Day 1.
