Mozilla Announces Experimental Partnership with ProtonVPN
(disclaimer I guess I own a company that offers VPN services, it's like ~1% of revenue though).<p>I think this seems like a bit much. I'd love Firefox to double down on building a great browser, rather than getting into Pocket, VPN, a Phone, IOT, etc.<p>Sure, a VPN can be really helpful when you're on sketchy open wifi, or other adversarial network conditions. But you're still trusting someone to handle your connections reliably and fairly. Several ISPs have proven themselves to be sketchy: injecting ads, adding tracking headers, etc. But do we really expect VPN providers to not crunch the same numbers and come to the same conclusions?<p>Note that despite <i>my</i> thinking, it does fit in well with their agenda:<p>> Mozilla has identified five key issues that are critical to build the open Internet we want:<p><pre><code>    Privacy and Security
    Open Innovation
    Decentralization
    Web Literacy
    Digital Inclusion</code></pre>
