I've pondered this before, but I don't see much advantage in having my traffic which currently comes from many IP addresses as I roam about the world, many of them shared and constantly changing, all come from one IP address that is absolutely only me.

Plus browsing the web from a hosting provider is a worse web; you'll get more sites rejecting you or putting you through bad CAPTCHAs all the time because the same service you can rent a server from, so can all the spammers and scrapers and other bad actors, so you're pretty likely to end up in an IP space with bad reputation.

If anyone can argue me out of this position, go nuts. I want this to work and do something useful, I just can't convince myself it does even with that bias.

This worse web is literally Google bullying you unless you tell them everything about who you are.

No, that's a different web. I live in the "google bullying" web between my combination of using Firefox + uMatrix on desktop, Brave on Android, and DuckDuckGo as my search engine. Google gets very little of my desktop info and fragmentary mobile use only. I do a few extra CAPTCHAs but it's not too bad.

The "I think you're a bad actor" web is much worse. Ask Tor users.

Sorry, I confused the two. I'm out here using Tor for my privacy (good kid; didn't do nuffin').
