    1. Sure a Google VPN is a terrible idea but how does a VPN like ProtonVPN protect you from Google tracking? 🤔 Google still gets logins, cookies, mobile users ids... IP addresses is far from being the “best” user identifier @ProtonVPN/1323344136242679808

      Not too say Proton doesn’t have something in mind, they actually do intend to ship a DNS adblocking feature soon (similar to NextDNS): reddit.com/r/ProtonVPN/comments/jigmpr/dns_adblocking_feature_delayed/ But “only” using a VPN is not enough to avoid Google pervasive tracking
