Same. Everything depends on your needs, believes and preferences. Even in terms of privacy and security, there is not on solution for everyone.

Even if Firefox fanboys and Brave lovers and these few Pale moon users.. try to tell xou otherwise.

My advice to you is to do research on your own and find smth which fits best for u and ur threat model.

TL;DR: There is nothing like that. Anyone claiming something else is basically lying to u.

Especially when it comes to privacy and security.

You can't compare Lavabit to Proton.

And you can't compare urself to Edward Snowden.

I think it's not the services fault that people aren't aware of the limits of encrypted services. They are not going to shut everythin' down just for a few people, if you need smth anonymous Proton is not for you.

Also, it's your task to have good opsec. If you give your iCloud email to Proton which has personal information sticked to it, your fault.

Oh okay, never heard of this since it's very unsual to give static IPs to people, especially since IPv4 adresses are very limited in their amount.

Both are good, depending on your personal preferences one could fit your work flow better than the other. In terms of privacy I did not recognize any difference.

It won't make any difference. It actually could potentially make you more fingerprintable, since your IP adress is no longer shared with many other people depending on the VPN you're using, etc.

At the end of the day, VPNs are not necessary to be not tracked, since your IP adress changes regulary, but it can be helpful in some scenario's and it's not harmful either, aslong your provider is not a bad actor.

To be fair, Vivaldi selects the worst options by default and when you're not careful and just click continue, it will choose them.
