I guess the more privacy-focused tools you have, the more features in Leta becomes redundant.

But Leta is only supposed to be a proxy search. Being on a VPN or secure DNS should have absolutely no bearing on how it works.

I can see them saying those things if they were Google trying to steal data and show you targeted ads, but it's really strange to be coming from Mullvad's own search proxy tool.

I think they phrased it poorly by saying using other privacy tool makes leta "useless". Because you're correct, using a VPN or other privacy tool doesn't change how it works. Just that the privacy benefit VPNs provide is also offered by Leta, hence making this specific benefit redundant.

Also, there is nothing wrong with redundancy, it can be a legitimate strategy too.
