Also, just because a company doesn't get your name, doesn't mean they don't know every little thing about you. PPI doesn't include my fingerprint, but Google 100% has my online fingerprint.

True, and it's a good reminder that VPN does not mean "more privacy". It means more privacy in relation to specific parts and less to others.

You can get a lot of info through DNS queries for example.

I know, I'm glad Mullvad is offering this service and I think the benefits outweigh the worries some had

(of course, it all depends on the DNS provider you choose)
