    You don't use Mullvad for their performance, you use them for their insanely paranoid security and privacy practices.

    And for the record, I was never impressed with Surfshark speeds. I dropped them when they bundled a virus scanner into their VPN client, that's sketchy as hell. I don't want my VPN provider scanning my files.

      Mullvad has excellent performance though. I got nearly gigabit, I, unfortunately, had to switch when they removed port forwarding.

      Yes I agree Surfshark has done some weird things. I find it weird that it's actually the same company now as NordVPN, but they don't make it clear.

      Regarding performance, Surfshark is decent speed but still slower than not using a VPN. The more annoying thing is that I get a lot more captchas when using Surfshark. I think these issues are common for all VPNs, though I haven't tried Mullvad yet (I will when my Surfshark subscription ends).
