Yeah, I mean, that's just TOR. That's why it's annoying when people say "just use TOR". It's nearly useless unless you TRULY need the highest levels of privacy.
Absolutely not. My main adversary is simply commercial surveillance capitalism tracking and I daily drive Tor Browser. Most of the time, it's fast enough for my browsing and video watching.
I'm more annoyed when such people treat it as a panacea. See: https://medium.com/@thegrugq/tor-and-its-discontents-ef5164845908
What's a panacea? It sound delicious.
