    What payment methods do Mozilla VPN accept? One of the biggest deal breaker for me are the payment methods. In example Proton VPN only accepts Credit Card or PayPal, which is a deal breaker to me.

      Credit Card only it looks like. Mozilla VPN is just a wrapper around Mullvad (it uses their servers and technology) so I would recommend getting that. Mullvad accepts a lot of more bespoke payment methods (crypto, wire transfer, cash in an envelope). The main reason to get Mozilla VPN is to bundle it with Mozilla’s other services.

          Note they won’t prorate anything, so if you want to cancel a year sub two months in, you’re stuck with it the whole year.

      I think it’s the same deal as search engines : people have been made too unaware of what is on their devices. Every service needs its own app or people will just not dare to “tinker”.

        We’re at an insane level of stupid. I had to buy a new smartphone in an emergency yesterday, and the onboarding runs as follows :

        1. “What browser do you want to use?” Firefox
        2. “What search engine do you want to use? (Non skipable)” Ecosia

        This results in installing two separate apps : Firefox and Ecosia

          Which is intentional. It’s Googles way to make you annoyed enough to not choose anything but their apps…
