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.

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

Written from Librewolf, because I've had enough.

Ah I was just wondering, been a while since LWD tried to stir up some Mozilla-related controversy.
