    My purpose for a VPN is more about connecting to WiFi APs I don’t control. Google VPN worked just fine for that.

      These days you don’t get much extra benefit on a VPN over TLS which you get on 99% of websites.

        I disagree here, as an American using a Swiss exit node (most compliant) websites are forced to allow a much higher degree of privacy to comply with the laws there.

        While I block all third party advertising and tracking anyway, it’s incredibly satisfying seeing websites explicitly list out everything they’re tracking about you and having that “reject all” button.
