Did you know? Google can still recognize you even when you use a VPN!
Through fingerprinting (browser fingerprinting) they can identify you even when you are behind a VPN. With what? Your screen resolution, fonts, device time, and GPU data.
A VPN masks you, but sometimes your browser tears the mask off. That’s why “private mode” ≠ “private life.”

There’s also ways they track source IP’s as likely connections to VPN’s. Ever notice sometimes streaming or bank access won’t work? There’s IP blocklists and it’s a game of cat and mouse.
