Mullvad donated some money to a Neo-N@zi party. To me, umless if they keep doing this, it doesn't feel too important, as long as they keep their products up and going. What does it mean to you? Your opinion could change my mind

Ugh, I feel like this might be a controversial take and it's been on my mind lately. How I see it is kinda how you see it too. I don't mind that he donated money to whatever party he likes or supports. However, it got me thinking as well, I should not be paying for a service that potentially might fund his actions and donations in the future, if he chooses to, with money that I am paying for.

With that being said, I support their overall mission to uncensor the internet and give privacy to the people while being free, but I don't want to spend $5/mo if it goes to something I don't support. I'll stop using the browser too and move on to something else as there's a wide variety/alternatives to it.

(P.S. I was already thinking of going to MullvadVPN bc it's the most cheaper option, but I decided against it and would go for Obscura for $3 more after my other VPN subscription expires.)
