     @torproject Tor is still dominated by the outproxy model, which is dangerous to users.

     I think VPNs are a good way to keep adtech out of my everyday net usage. It may fail for some in practice, but then that's a big liability for the VPN provider whereas an ISP shrugs at the notion of privacy.
