I think they pay mullvad. It has a no logs policy. Better than most. I currently use Mullvad but maybe will try proton when it expires as they've had some missteps, but they ain't funding Nazi parties.
Because Mozilla VPN is a paid service. But actually there are more well-maintained VPN providers available for a decent price with a strict no-log policy. for example, IVPN, Mullvad, Windscribe, Proton, etc., so there is no need to use the Mozilla VPN. Also, Mozilla VPN is based on Mullvad.
If you're gonna use a free one, might aswell. It's just their barebones service with 3 countries. I don't see why it would be any different from the paid option within the same company. There's no different TOS afaik.

Set up DoH globally for your devices if you need privacy. Something like Adguard DNS.

i use nextdns, its good right?

I don't know. Probably not bad. Large DNS providers tend to be OK unless specifically known to be not OK. Just make sure you really use DoH

I use the free version on mozilla, it gets the job done. Better than no vpn

Btw, Mozilla has its own VPN, and I don't recommend using it.

There is a system wide app, but it's only for the paid versions.

Doh and dnssec are more important than a vpn.
Do those first then save up some money and get mullvad.
