I only use a VPN for:
- Spoofing my geo-location
- Securing my phone's traffic when surfing on a 'free' or tariff-ed wireless hotspot
Sure, the provider might not keep logs, but it's certainly not for casual surfing, or heavy surfing. Stick to old reliables like TLS, TOR, and ADBlockers for vanilla /ISP connections
