I was also confused by the competition chart[1] Regarding the VPN row, I don't think this is a case of being dishonest - meaning, Purism is lying. Rather, this chart simply feels like it was created hurriedly. What motive would they have for saying they are in competition with PIA, when PIA is most likely the service behind Librem Tunnel. Perhaps someone goofed. Edit: My suspicion that this page was rushed is seemingly confirmed when I see: "In the Press As mentioned in:" But there is nothing there. 1: https://librem.one/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/competitive-table-1024x1024.png https://librem.one/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/competitive-ta...

  It's PIA, look at their Google Play screenshot. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/R3_hK1xk1oBWLb_jXB9EsWETnOGYxOzjKygN2r7V6DGaoqWS8_f7So48HSFIytBaZi4=w1247-h1263 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/R3_hK1xk1oBWLb_jXB9EsWETnO...

    Yep. In that case, I wonder why they would list PIA as competition at all.

      That whole diagram is full of weirdness. No mention of Dropbox or Box, no mention of Office 365, etc.
