I tried Brave and Chrome, and killed the extensions I have running (ad blockers).

Video tries to load but just sits there spinning. I can see the initial image of the video (Kanye's face), but it just keeps spinning.

I take my own security and privacy measures that don't involve (((VPN providers))) who advertise on (((YouTube))). Safety is always just an illusion so what makes you think that I'm ignorant of that fact?

You're just an anon on POAL that likes to spar with me upon occasion, and debate/discussion is good. Being on POAL, I would expect you to know VPN facts, and you have verified that you do. What I don't know of are effective alternatives to spyware VPNs. So enlighten me, if you can.

My setup involves a lot of hardware, software and interconnectivity which is both off-the-shelf and one-off custom made. I can't really give much information on protection alternatives for something that is very unique to my needs and circumstances that others would be able to duplicate in a cost effective manner. My setup evolved over decades so it's hard to replicate again given the scarcity of some hardware bits. I'd help you out if I could provide you with something you could use from my setup, but alas it is both a long-time hobby/career and necessity that led me to this ever evolving and probably overkill solution.

Sounds impressive. You spin a good yarn if you made all that up! Lol!

Regardless, VPN is not guaranteed, your "dream" set up would seem to be a challenge to replicate. There are no fantastic off the shelf solutions, or to easily finagle a solution with off the shelf and a custom circuit or circuit design available somewhere - with proof of efficacy. Essentially nothing available. Using my kindle to peruse the web works fine for me. It is about as "safe" as anything else these days. My personal stuff stays on a desktop that I use for email, MSoffice, pictures, business, etc. I seldom use the desktop browser. They haven't come to take me away yet.
