Some day I would love to have a philosophical conversation with you about why I'd rather Google have my data than some random grey hat on the Internet.
Threat profiles are weird things and I imagine you've probably heard something like that before being a professional.
yes. i have. i would enjoy that conversation some day. however, my point here is without using a vpn or tor you are giving your behavioral data and precise location out to google and everyone else.
i recommending trusting trusted (audited and battle tested in court) privacy tech who's reputation is based on them not logging data over an isp or an ad-basd tech company who's main source of income has always been hyper-targeted advertising based on user data.
big tech is in bed with the gov. if your threat model includes big tech, it also includes the government.
