They'd happily take your money and track and ad-bomb you anyway, the ads will be ingeniously disguised as "valuable information" but they'd be there.

My solution is using uBlock Origin without signing in to Google and a VPN.

I'm not concerned about ads because I literally never see them.

And uBlock blocks the tracking.

Do you not use uBlock Origin? https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpa...

Your browser has unique fingerprint regardless of VPN or uBlock. If you want be anonymous, use Tor.
