    • Third party service run by corpos who pinky promise not to harvest any of your data

    • In-app tool that doesn’t cache your client-side data

    Is the woman the negative side on this?

        I genuinely wonder what people think they’re using a VPN for. Do they think they’ve outwitted a trillion dollars in surveillance with an $8/mo subscription service?

          A VPN is part of a toolset. No tool alone is enough, and they only really work for some porpoises.

          Some people think it is enough. Some people think chrome incognito is enough. Some people are wrong.

          I’m any case, privacy is a spectrum. I can’t be untraceable by state agents, but I can avoid a lot of non targeted spying.
