"competition" doesn't work super well here given the information asymmetry between users and providers.

There's simply no way for customers to tell if their VPN provider is selling them out.

Isn't that why you want Mozilla?

By siding with you they can certainly pave over the asymmetry in the relationship between provider and users.

I trust Mozilla, not ProtonVPN, and I trust Mozilla vetted them and will continue to look them over the shoulder.

That's more than I can say for my current VPN provider.

I currently would trust them right up until the point where they receive a subpoena from the government because I said something they deem icky.

Having worked at Mozilla I can honestly say that I'm confident Mozilla can't keep a neferious secret :)

There is a lot of passionate privacy activists at Mozilla. Many of whom to would leak an NSL at the risk of persecution. (In fact I dare say the lineup would be long)
