Look,you're missing two very important points here.

1) yes,vpn providers crunch the numbers and come at a different conclusion. This is because they sell privacy before anything else. You don't gamble on the heart of your business model unless you intended to sell out your users from the begining. And there are well vetted providers run by well known individuals with a lot to lose if they sell out users.

2) It is in the interest of Mozilla's users for mozilla to diversify it's revenue source. So long at they don't forget to make features optional,I don't see the problem.

This partnership is great because both Mozilla and ProtonVPN have similar business models. Heck,it would even make a lot of sense for Mozilla to operate protonmail. Except unlike with Google and Gmail,they would charge you money and that's it. Give us what we want,to be your customers not your product!

I would actually love it if Mozilla ends up operating protonmail and brings over firefox mail of sorts.

Same here. I like Mozilla, and if they can bring me a qualitative email service and VPN on top of a great browser and the MDN, I'm psyched.

Here's to hoping that they also develop an e-mail product to replace Googles Inbox...

I don't want another all in one behemoth corporation. I want a browser that's not connected to any services but sports open protocols. I hope protonmail remains independent.

Wow, I never thought about this but strangely it makes sense.

It seems ProtonMail frontend is open-source: https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClient
