Bit of an uphill fight with captchas everywhere. Do people here conduct all online activity over VPN whenever possible? Only for the sensitive stuff? Or perhaps the inverse because the bank already knows you? Maybe when travelling or getting around region blocking? Something else?
The one provided by my work aside, I realized that I don’t have any consistent rules around using VPN. Except sometimes, you know, when downloading ISO’s for my favorite distos.


i disable javascirpt and use safest setting
I use invidious to check if google is tracking me (i get recommended videos i like on the first page so i know its not behavoir fingerprint)
I’m not sure Google is tracking you via Invidious recommendations. I think whatever instances are popular just get used by people with the same general content interests, so those IP addresses get served that sort of content.
can u tell me what you see when you go to invidious (not the search page the popular page)
(genuine question)
Sure! Here’s what I see on the nadeko Invidious instance.
