Always felt like this needed to happen for long time now. I guess now better than never. Got to figure out a business model. Reselling Mullvad as Firefox VPN was a start. I feel like everything that Proton does, Firefox should be doing but with a Linux file manager application

Smells like en(shit)tification.

What are the parenthesis here for? Without it would be "smells like entification"??
