Well, just that. Wich is stronger against trackers, hackers and doxxing threats? Proton VPN (I’m using this one actually), or Mullvad VPN?

Proton has cooperated with subpoenas on multiple occasions leading to the user’s arrest.
While they may challenge them, the point is that they have cooperated and thus are not reliable. There are no reported cases of Mullvad doing the same.
There are ample links from multiple sources that describe this with a simple search.

Interesting, thanks.
To be fair, if your safety depends on whether a particular company cooperates with authorities, you’d better rethink your OPSEC.
My thinking is, if the CIA (or whatever country’s equivalent) is on to you, it’s pretty much jover.
I think it still very much depends on how much they’re onto you. The guy from the most famous Proton case seems like a low-level crook, so if he wasn’t so easy to catch, chances are the agency would’ve just went after an easier prey. If you’re a DNM admin, though… Indeed, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Please do provide a link, especially if it’s very easy to find. I’m not saying anything you say is wrong, only that if it’s not an opinion, then a link from a trusted source helps other to understand the situation.
It’s a somewhat convoluted story. Here are some links
The takeaway is when he logged into his Protonmail they logged his IP address which helped track this individual down. But note that Reddit thread I linked. I also cannot find that much information about “what happened next,” or the details of who was arrested and why.
There may be other examples, but this particular case kinda hit the rounds back when it happened.

Has Mullvad ever been required to comply for anything though? Or are you saying Mullvad has already, and refused to follow Swedish law?
