Definitely not a good thing. I use Proton VPN, but only because I paid for a license before I realized the CEO is a scumbag. A lot of people are moving away from Proton's platform, so a browser choosing to bundle it in is just privacy-violating bloatware for everyone except for a subset of users who are also still using Proton, and also for some reason don't just have the standalone app installed.
I'm curious as to why you think the CEO is a scumbag? This article does a good job of clearing up the outrage I had seen towards the CEO.
The article is a PR puff piece. What Andy said made absolutely zero sense at the time, and even more so now. "...tables have completely turned." Sir, the table is round and covered in shit. Always has been.
