You have to trust them though. That’s my point.They may say they are funded only by donations and still sell your data. In fact the first link says the same as I do as the first phrase. When using a VPN, you are moving your trust from your ISP to your VPN provider. Of course there may be exceptions that are actually free and don’t sell your data. But the ones that sell your data will rarely state so.

Idk what either of those are. I don't endorse any VPN. All I'm saying is that it doesn't matter how strong the encryption algorithm is, you still have to trust your provider. VPNs have the exact same power over you as ISPs. Using a VPN to avoid your ISP is just kicking the can down the road. That's why you better choose a VPN that you trust.

It's not the cryptography you have to trust. It's the other end of the tunnel. A free VPN most probably sells your data. Nobody offers free services for actually free.

The worst case scenario also being the most common.

These are not losses. They’ll just push up the price of goods based on their chance of being stolen. You’re not stealing from the store, you’re stealing from everyone else that actually pays for the products. Unless you’re stealing from a small shop that doesn’t have the time and resources to calculate price based on theft. In which case, you are an asshole for stealing from a small business.

So every working person is an asshole and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it? Doesn’t seem too ethical to me. Sounds like a justification for being an antisocial asshole.

I used to. Yes

I used to be shoes on. You just wake up, put on underwear, pants, shirt, socks and shoes, in that order.

One of the techniques I’ve seen it’s like a “password”. So for example if you write a lot the phrase “aunt bridge sold the orangutan potatoes” and then a bunch of nonsense after that, then you’re likely the only source of that phrase. So it learns that after that phrase, it has to write nonsense. I don’t see how this would be very useful, since then it wouldn’t say the phrase in the first place, so the poison wouldn’t be triggered.

the shape of the gap is almost the same as the peak in “other”. So that peak is probably “windows but we messed up with data collection” or “some browser in windows changed its user agent”.

How dare they collect data and display it in an accurate manner! They should just start by putting Linux at 50% and then move the lines a little bit.
