Comment on The sheer amount of websites that are completely unusable without JavaScript

Maybe I’m misunderstanding but when the VPN makes a request for the page information the request isn’t forwarding the browser information is it? So wouldn’t most of that be mitigated there?
As in the VPNs several making the request should show when they scrape that information, not the end user. Maybe I’m not understanding that though.

A VPN doesn’t alter the requests your browser is making. It just masks your IP address.

Yeah if it’s sending the data and not searching from the server itself it would make it easier to track you having higher security almost. Because it would make your identifiers more unique if everyone else wasn’t… That’s food for thought
