True, though the mozilla client is their own, and seems to be somewhat customized, like using only wireguard.

Is Brave (and similar browsers) not their own browsers because the rendering engine is the same as what others use? Similarly, was Chrome not Google's browser when they were using Webkit?

> Mozilla has partnered with Mullvad in order to utilize our global network of VPN servers for its own VPN application, Mozilla VPN, since July 2019.

Mozilla uses Mullvad VPN, they built their VPN Client application using wireguard

Therefore, it's a VPN Client, not "their VPN", VPN = virtual private network, it's not their "network"

Chrome Browser = VPN Client

Google Services = VPN

Brave made a browser using chromium, but they do not use Google's servers/services, so its their browser

Understand the difference now?

Will that help us have fun on the moon? or should it be someone else?

No idea what that's supposed to mean but I'm sure it was very clever.

It's not about being clever, it's about being correct

There's being correct, then there's being pedantic.

>they can reskin

The client isn't a reskin of Mullvad's client.
