Basically I started with mullvad then turned to proton but after they introduced AI and a crypto wallet I’m just looking for what peoples opinions are.

EDIT: Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions :D

Always mullvad for privacy, top tier. Only know you as a number and you can pay physical cash whole os (iirc) & vpn server runs in RAM and is gone on powerloss, the best.

Unless you are trying to get around geo blocks as they publish all their servers, so it’s easier for them to get blocked https://mullvad.net/en/servers.

Or if you are using it constantly, then just go with whoever is cheapest/has the features you like as you are only hiding from your ISP, everyone else still knows.
