As soon as I open the flatpak, my Pi-hole registers a connection attempt to 'aax-us-pdx.amazon-adsystem.com', which the Windows version doesn't do. After some investigation, I came here and saw it wasn't official. Now uninstalled. Any news on an official release, or will you not be publishing to Flathub?

Doesn't mullvad imply it's by the mullvad company?
It implies that mullvad company wrote the app code. I agree this is source of endless confusion since people may assume that same entity who wrote the code also published it on flathub which sometimes is true but in this case it's not.
Note that this flatpak use verbatim copy of binaries uploaded by mullvad, there isn't even a compilation process involved. I don't think publishing 1:1 copy under different name is something legit.
This matters as there might even be adware / malware being injected as this comment implies.
This is extremely bold claim based merely on someone else question. I recommend not starting discussion like that.
DISCLAIMER: I'm personally against 3rd party flatpak publishing but it's considered normal on flathub and we could have same discussion for about 1000 other apps here.
There is no way on https://flathub.org/apps/net.mullvad.MullvadBrowser for a user to recognize that it's unofficial.

But is actually unofficial.

Basic ethics demands not to impersonate people, companies such as about the origin of software.
Note: This is my personal opinion and I am not affiliated to Mullvad.
Is the
net
part (as opposed to others usingorg
) supposed to imply it's unofficial? If it wasorg
, that would be mean it's official?Doesn't
mullvad
imply it's by the mullvad company?https://flathub.org/apps/net.SomeIndividualOrCompanyName.MullvadBrowser
would be better.This matters as there might even be adware / malware being injected as this comment implies.
