   It is not my 'idea' to argue w/ you 'against' privacy, but just because   
   privacy is a worthwhile concept does not mean that 'people' should   
   engage in some particular aspect of privacy *for NO purpose*.   
      
   That is, if you are going to 'junk up' your browser w/ all kinds of   
   extensions and *slow down* your connectivity because you think it is   
   /better/ to have /more/ privacy, FOR NO PURPOSE, that makes no sense.   
      
   You can't just say, the purpose is privacy, and privacy is good, so   
   everyone should have more privacy.   
      
   That is not correct. Any measure that you take should have a *REAL*   
   purpose, that benefits you, and particularly not /someone else/ instead.   
      
   Each individual must make some assessment of his own 'need' for privacy,   
   what is important to HIM, not some kind of notion that someone else has   
   'sold' to him.   
      
   I think /most/ VPN services are not needed by the people who are using   
   them, either free or pay, because 'everyone' is selling the idea of VPN.   
      
   I have yet to be 'convinced' that I should be using a VPN 'regularly'   
   for /anything/ w/ the possible exception of accessing some site that I   
   am blocked from because of my geolocation.
