Surprised to see Mozilla has started peddling VPN services.
I know that VPN doesn't solve it either, so I don't follow your argument.

After much (needed & excellent!) work, only now are 80% of Android apps encrypting: https://security.googleblog.com/2019/12/an-update-on-android-tls-adoption.html … Hard for an educated layperson *who doesn't know the TLS state of their app stack* to conclude that VPN provides zero additional assurance on a *local* untrusted network.

I assume you know the problem with this, a *local* untrusted network is no more secure than a *remote* untrusted network. You've just shuffled some packets around, collected $4.99 and improved nothing.

But with a VPN you know for sure at least two of the people reselling your data - the destination site and the vpn provider. Knowledge is power and all that ;-)

What happened to the plan to deprecate http, that seemed like the right solution to me, not just shuffling bits around and calling it security.
