Worth noting if you are using their VPN services or Browser.

EDIT: Apparently, labelling them as far-right isn't as clear-cut from an economic perspective, but they do hold many core identity politics that are common amongst far-right parties such as:

Voiced support for the idea of large-scale remigration on multiple occasions, even for Swedish-born immigrants: "Sweden belongs to the Swedes"
Supports Sweden leaving NATO
In favor of Sweden leaving the European Union in a so-called "Swexit"
Stated that Sweden should only support other countries on the condition that it benefits Sweden and that it has to be "Sweden first"

This isn't FUD tho. What head of the company is doing with the money he gets out of is relevant for customers. Especially since a good deal of trust is put into using a VPN, the company's character is kind of part of the package (and they will say so themselves in their marketing material).
