It should be for the average person. VPN and private browsing should be enough for what most people use it for. I don’t think it’s fair to expect people to think that the browser is secretly communicating with apps on their phone, tying all behavior to their identity.

If it was possible for this to happen in the past, we have reason to believe that the technical capability to link behavior with identity still exists. What’s “unfair” about informing others about the limitations and risks of using a device online?
I mean, I think that Google (or Apple) have full visiblity to everything on my Android (or iPhone). Why wouldn't they? Just because they say they don't?
