Comment on Privacy researcher debunks Microsoft Edge’s free VPN marketing, says it's "NOT a VPN"

The security researcher is an employee for Brave, a competitor that makes a browser too and sells a white-label VPN too.
I would touch neither Edge “VPN”,
nor “Brave” VPN.

the problem with edge’s (allegedly) is not just it’s white-label, though. that would make it a VPN.

I changed my comment a little bit. You’re right that the two things aren’t similar under the hood, but the user interface for the two things (being controlled directly from the browser) definitely is. And while Microsoft’s sales pitch is deceptive, it’s clearly a competitor to offerings from companies like Brave, Opera, DuckDuckGo, etc.
