See, for better or worse, this is why I "trust" surfshark....they have background test systems that don't simply use live databases. I know this is basic precautions.... But here in 2026 that is unfortunately something to applaud.

Hey it's not my fault chat gpt didn't generate background test systems... That would have been too many tokens
