    While I do agree that their focus should absolutely be on the browser, I do actually really like that they offer a paid Wireguard-based VPN with endpoints in dozens of countries. I think that makes sense for them, given their mission and everything, and actually gives them a revenue source.

        That doesn’t really discount the argument. Not a lot of investment for a decent return. Why is that bad?

            Probably the main benefit would be funding Mozilla, so we aren’t all total serfs in Google’s fiefdom

                Though I hear Mullvad has its own Firefox fork now

                Mullvad Browser? It’s basically Tor Browser without the Tor, meant to be used with a VPN instead. It has integration with Mullvad VPN by default, but that add-on can be removed, and the browser doesn’t need Mullvad VPN in order to function. Since the browser is based on Firefox, someone might want to fund Firefox development by using it with Mozilla VPN instead.
