The browsers you're using, you have no idea what's
inside them, or how safe they are. The same goes
for the VPNs or the software you're using with
those VPNs.

If you wrote the software yourself, maybe you'd have good reason
to be smug. But as long as a dozen people grab a copy of Chrome,
change two lines of code, and put their name on it and make
a dozen "new" browsers, what's up with that ?

I think the Chromium tree I have on the other machine,
has 600,000 files on it. Have all the browser derivative people,
actually even opened those files ? How many of those files could
you read per day ?

That's why I find this hobby of yours to be largely delusional.

You could attempt to study the network traffic... assuming
you knew how to break the SSL/TLS and render the content in
plaintext before it's sent. I understand that is doable, but
it's outside my pay scale to do it.
