Sorry, but "comfortable" in what way?

That going through such steps migh assure some privacy?

Or that you'd take such measures as a matter of routine?

Or that you could do that without raising suspicions, or possibly being flagged / recorded in some manner despite (or on account of) the precautions?

Or ... ?

(Moral is not clear.)

The moral is that being ~anonymous in meatspace has become very difficult.

So yes, I'm no longer comfortable assuming that such steps would guarantee any privacy. And yes, I'd also worry that at least parts of the process would be recorded. And the harder I tried to obfuscate, the more likely it'd raise suspicions.

I do worry about using a VPN. But that's not too uncommon where I live, so hopefully it's not a huge flag.
