(Not talking about a specific browser, just in general) 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 sever 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. So any information about your browser is still sent. The exception would be if your VPN provides some sort of tracker/ad blocking feature where it can block certain requests. But it’s not really a magic switch that prevents websites from tracking you.
