What is up with all these VPN providers needing apps? Do they take VPN protocols as jokes?
They usually offer functionality thats not built in such as kill switches and split tunneling iirc

This results in installing two separate apps : Firefox and Ecosia
Which is intentional. It’s Googles way to make you annoyed enough to not choose anything but their apps…
