Biggest cons to using mullvad vpn/browser so far?
I've been on the fence about paying for a month to try it out for a while now.

You can actually use mullvad's encrypted DNS services for free with Mullvad Browser. You can do that with Firefox too, but with about 5 minutes of config.
Biggest con is that the browser is largely amnesic. Many site state retention settings and features have been removed.
you can disable this, I had to because the wipe everything on close mode was too inconvenient 😂
only drawback with the VPN is that some sites and locations are blocking you if you use a VPN. it's honestly perfect outside of that, bought a few years
browser, it's still kind of early ... and you will have to tweak it to get to your mix of privacy and functionality, everything is very private but not super usable by default.
Firefox extensions work on it, it's fast, configurable
It doesn't have a good way to install progressive web apps like chromium based ones but good outside of that
Blocked websites and services. Some of your online purchases will be flagged as potentially fraudulent (Shopify stores in particular)
