A yes, a massive "VPN" button wedged between back and forward, thanks firefox

Firefox might be a chrome advertising psyop

A screeshot of the menu bar in firefox, where the back and forward button normally is, there is a big "VPN" button in the middle, it looks extremely out of place

@k @ufal You can right click and banish it, but that is assuming that users know that is possible right, I can imagine a less computer literate user getting annoyed at this
