I don't know much about Nord's quality as a service, but I know that they really spearheaded the effort to spread misinformation on how Internet security works (claiming that a VPN would protect the information you enter into a website when HTTPS already does that) via YouTube ad reads. That alone is enough to make me swear off ever using them.

NordVPN is good for getting around geoblocks, not so much for privacy

Nord is a company that spends a lot of money on ads. They pay a lot of youtubers. In general, when a company uses most of their money on ads, they tend to get as much users as possible while not spending a lot of money on quality. I don't trust those companies.

Friends of mine say it's fine. But they don't have anything else as reference. I can't say for certain, but Nord isn't the safest and most private VPN out there. Also some VPN providers log traffic, which can be confiscated with a court order. Again, I'm not sure if this is the case with Nord.

I myself use Proton, which is completely privacy based. Their company changed to become a foundation to ensure their privacy focus no matter who might be in power in the future. Their prices are fair, their services are good. They don't spend money on ads, they spend all their effort and resources into making internet a better place.

As soon as companies are sponsors for many youtubers, I don't trust them.

For instance, opera used to be an awesome browser made by a Norwegian team. They sold it to a Chinese company that provides predatory loans in poor African countries, completely destroying family's lives. They promote the shit out the browser, while it also saves your data and uses your machine to farm crypto. Evil as fuck.

While the original creators of opera started a new browser which is how they believe it should be: private, your property, full of personalization, no bullshit. It's called Vivaldi. But they don't promote it like Opera does. Because they are honest and don't want to waste resources while they can better use that for improving their product even more.

lol Brave respect from ML

best browser in the world right now

Finally, finally, I can answer something. I recognize the logo.

... and Brave is also basically a marketing scam

Can you tell me more about brave and what you mean?

yeah

librewolf is based

They don't invade your privacy or share data with third parties or even use your data to train AI. Yucky, no thanks

There’s no issue

its obscura, basicly mullvad with a relay for making it impossible to log who you are, if i understand correctly

i also didn't know what it was credit

Way too expensive, the clients are proprietary except for the Linux one, and the amount of sponsorships they do just make them look more suspicious than anything.

It's a corporation. It is inherently not private. Your government will always be able to get its data. NSA can be presumed to log its activity, whether or not the corporation itself does.

Nothing. It's rumors and hearsay. Probably the only negative is an alleged data breach, but that is not confirmed.
