Most people turn to a VPN for one reason: privacy. And with its verified badge, featured placement, and 100k+ installs, FreeVPN.One looked like a safe choice. But once it’s in your browser, it’s not working to keep you safe, it’s continuously watching you.

    Ours allow vpn’s, aren’t shit holes.

    enlighten me

    Media consumption and ad responsiveness are really good data.

    Then they can connect this to your other shit (phone model browser data etc).

    Violate you with medium certainty everywhere.

    Edit: Wouldn’t be shocked if that’s why the fingerprinting on you works so well. Assuming you arent slipping too bad anywhere else.
