Mozilla has always had a VPN offering; this is just doing the same thing that Vivaldi did with Proton. It's not designed for power users; it's designed for regular users to introduce them to more private browsing.
Vivaldi is an apt comparison because in my experience, it is really bloated compared to any other Chrome-based browser. Bloated to the point of feeling laggy on desktops.
Yeah they have TOO many features at this point.
