    VPNs doesn’t really improve security in a way that usually matters.

    Nearly all web traffic is already encrypted.

    VPNs absolutely have their uses (like accessing remote networks, bypassing firewalls and censorship, piracy) but they are not needed for just using all the time.

        Microsoft has the ability to decrypt all web traffic on Windows at will due to their preinstalled cert,

        I am gonna need a source for that.

        EU is going to install their certs on every computer and make it illegal for browsers to uninstall or untrust them.

        You sure? Are you talking about the encryption thing? That was (of course) rejected.
