VPN plus incognito (private) browser window is easier than tor and roughly same protection level. That is for general use, not for hardcore anonymity.

History's shown that for numerous VPN providers that's not the case.

Chief value of (public/general) VPNs seems to be 1) accessing region-zoned content or 2) protection against local-segment interception.

The benefit of 2) is balanced against the fairly strong probability that the VPN provider itself is heavily surveilled or actively aiding in monitoring activities.

Those youtube ads sure helped the VPN popularity. There is absolutely no reason to believe VPNs are even remotely secure.

With some vpn providers you can look them up in court records to see if there are any mentions of them keeping logs.
