Every free VPN in the world spies on you.

If you want a VPN that actually respects your privacy, you must pay for it.

    I don't know what you were expecting.

    You more or less have to have an account to use a paid feature. Especially for a free trial.

    It's only Mulvad (which is apparently what Firefox uses under the hood) who doesn't use an email address as an identifier.

    iiuc Firefox uses Mullvad for original paid VPN service but their new freemium one is through Fastly (?)

    Yep, Fastly the CDN company (doing HTTPS mitm-as-a-service for millions of websites) which Apple also uses (along with CloudFlare) for their similar iCloud Private Relay feature.

    Unlike Apple though, Firefox's new "built-in VPN" does not claim (falsely) to use different providers for ingress and egress.

    i did this with iceweasel and learned that those forks always go dormant eventually. they sometimes get revived like iceweasel did, but you should atleast expect to keep jumping from active fork to active fork.

    i'm dreading the day that i have to give up on mozilla permanently and switch to some sort of chromium browser because of it.
