Well, just that. Wich is stronger against trackers, hackers and doxxing threats? Proton VPN (I'm using this one actually), or Mullvad VPN?

To be fair, if your safety depends on whether a particular company cooperates with authorities, you'd better rethink your OPSEC.

Proton has cooperated with subpoenas on multiple occasions leading to the user’s arrest.

My thinking is, if the CIA (or whatever country's equivalent) is on to you, it's pretty much jover.

I think it still very much depends on how much they're onto you. The guy from the most famous Proton case seems like a low-level crook, so if he wasn't so easy to catch, chances are the agency would've just went after an easier prey. If you're a DNM admin, though... Indeed, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
