    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.

      Absolutely. But then, as often as not, just using the browser feature that doesn’t cache client side data is enough.

        The only thing that does is prevents other people who have physical access to the computer from seeing your gross browsing habits though…which I guess might be enough for many.
