   As everyone must know by now, with the demise of the free Epic Privacy   
   Browser (which was my daily drive for years), I have been delving into free   
   no registration proxies, free public vpns, free proxifiers, free   
   socksifiers, free private dns resolvers & ad blockers, free browser   
   extensions, etc. in recent weeks (each having it's own thread)...   
      
   One thing I've noticed a TREMENDOUS amount of is each time I go to the   
   EXACT SAME SITE (on a web browser anyway), it asks me to accept their   
   cookies, and each time I go to any Google site (such as YouTube.com) it   
   gives me a blank page and asks me to accept cookies.   
      
   It's a PITA for sure, but it's better than the alternative, IMHO.   
      
   In summary, if every time you go to the same site, it treats that as your   
   very first visit (as if it had never seen you before), then, I think, then   
   maybe, possibly, we're getting somewhere on privacy. Or so I hope...
