Didn't even know they had a free tier until yesterday. Is it any good? I've been using it with no issue on low data situations.

Yes, I know about the original dev political issues.

Since it's free, huge number of people are using those servers. You will get a lot of captchas and many sites outright block all those IPs.

Trustworthy? I am okay with them, but if I need something more private I'd use Tor.

If you're considering spending any money with them, I'd say go with Mullvad, since it would be cheaper. If you want all Proton's services bundled, they can be good.

I heard good things about mullvad. I will get a paid version when I have more need for it. I had thought free versions didn't exist previously . But I don't trust it fully

You will get some slow downs but it's trustworthy
