Why would you ever accept this anti consumer bullshit for a slightly better screen? It might not even take a year before the current cutting edge not “the best” anymore with how fast tech cycles. I would absolutely go out of my way to get a device I can deprive of an Internet connection and still use.
Nvidia is huge on producing AI and is certainly data-hungry. Without actually knowing, I would bet it’s about as bad as anything else. Since all your data is passing directly through their servers it’s trivial for them to do whatever they want with it.

Sure, but there’s a limited bandwidth for people’s intake of information. This in particular is no longer a cause for alarm.
False alarm

Mozilla is run by a nonprofit and just lost 80% of its revenue from the Google ad antitrust case. How is your using their browser making them any money? That’s literally the rub here. The whole promise of Firefox is that they don’t data mine your activities like chromium browsers do and data mining and ads would be the way to make revenue anywhere near on par with what was lost. The CEO gets paid the same either way out of the billion or so that Mozilla has in financial reserve. Firefox keeps losing user base yet the CEO pay keeps going up.
That’s very optimistic. Mozilla is not in good shape and the c suite may simply ride their paychecks from the endowment off into the sunset.
Most of their income has come directly from Google, the incumbent browser monopoly. I’m full tin foil hat on this one, Google is pulling the strings here.
Idk the CEOs $6mil salary sounds more like malice to me
Using a VPN will prevent your ISP from selling your IP logs to data brokers. It also obfuscates your IP to websites you visit to make their fingerprinting less precise. All your ISP can see is that you’re connecting to/from a VPN server through an encrypted tunnel and maybe some metadata like amount of data transferred.
Hard to compare value to free stuff like encrypted DNS and an ad blocker but a VPN definitely has protections you wouldn’t get otherwise.
