          That’s one thing I don’t really get about the whole “vpns don’t make your browsing private” thing, like ofc you can still be tracked via fingerprinting/cookies but I thought it was obvious that it was mostly about hiding what sites you’re visiting from the ISP?

            But you give a third party this info. So tomato, tomato.

            Someone on the edge node will know your info: your isp or your VPN provider

              yeah, I guess you I have an easier time trusting a vpn provider than an ISP

              I know that there have been scandals with vpns logging user data even when they say they don’t but… you don’t really have a choice if you want to try being anonymous
