Since it's about VPNs - what are good VPNs for someone looking for safety/privacy but not anonymity or even IP hiding?

Not even for streaming. But for general "safety while on the Internet" when the devices (Mac, iPhone) are mostly on public or not-so-secure WiFi (at the residence or on the go). Plan is to keep it always ON or almost always ON.

Not necessarily for the UK.

(Other than Mullvad)

if you're on apple... iCloud Private Relay.

though you may need to be more clear on the safety / privacy benefits you expect to gain

iCloud Private Relay has the benefit of more accepted by payment processors etc, but the downside is that because it doesn't mask your country of origin the UK censorship rules still apply whilst using it.

I've found that Mullvad generally has the best privacy reputation, but I've also been blocked by a lot of sites whilst using it.

The mainstream consumer VPNs like Nord, Proton etc aren't as great for privacy but I suspect they're less likely to be blocked. I'd love to have more data to justify this though.
