You think I don’t know how a VPN works?

I think you misunderstood what I meant.

How are they different from any other VPN service or even uBlock? They all have access to your browsing info and can potentially use it for profit.

I think there is a big misunderstanding about this feature. People are throwing their arms up in disappointment but in reality this is a helpful feature for privacy.

This post doesn’t even explain what the feature is or how it works. If you take the time to go read what the feature actually does, you’ll see it’s a good feature to have and it really does improve your privacy when you don’t have an ad blocker.

Just because Meta participated doesn’t mean it’s bad. If they only participated as consultants to understand the advertisement system so they can better protect us against it, it’s not bad.

Well clicks and keystrokes are kind of important when you’re working with a text editor with a graphical user interface. These actions have to be sent somewhere.

I don’t know about that. If I use Google to sign in to different separate services, if my Google account is compromised, then so are all the other services, no?

If they’re all independent services then it becomes a hassle. Having to have multiple apps or accounts to manage.

You make a valid point, but I think there should be some kind of middle ground between the two.

I’m on the opposite of that opinion. I’d love it if proton had a whole suite like Google drive and Google keep all bundled into one secure and private service.
