At least what they ended up doing was not some crypto ponzi scheme.

Written from Librewolf, because I've had enough.

Sigh, all I want is some decent privacy-centric cloud services like Proton. Bonus points if they're self-hostable. I am currently paying Proton for a premium plan, but I would have gladly paid Mozilla instead for similar services. They keep trying to monetize the wrong things and doing a poor job at it at the same time. None of their VPN and email aliasing stuff are competitively priced or featureful.
