Well I was on YouTube not searching for anything but I understand it’s a Google product, just not one I can replace with anything really so I guess I’m just stuck.
If you want Google search results, that’s what we give you through Startpage. DDG delivers Bing search results. Plus we have an Anonymous View web proxy you can use for extra protection.
No use Ecosia.org
And ungoogled chrome pretty please 
several sites will do the same.
There isn’t a replacement for YouTube thanks
How does changing your MTU affect a shared VPN IP?
This isn’t chrome, the website you’re visiting is doing this. Most websites have some bot blocking mechanism, which is often triggered by vpns because the website sees many requests from the same IP, because it’s being shared by all* the vpn users on that server.
But not only Google does this, several websites will do the same thing
Look at the url my man I wasn’t on Google. Unfortunately they own everything and YouTube is something that can’t be substituted cause that’s where most people post videos.
90% percent of the world’s people who are not concerned about censorship and privacy.
Does Firefox give you the same? I suspect Chrome throws even more CAPTCHA to get us to sign in and/or allow more fingerprinting.
First time hearing about startpage
OMG that explains so much. Thank you.
Genuine question: ungoogled chrome, is that just a chromium based browser? I started using Edge and it’s been quite a good experience so far.
That’s not quite accurate. You can try using a YouTube front end like Invidious: https://invidious.site/feed/popular
Plus many sites like Netflix do a RIPE check to see if the ip subnet belongs to a web host or VPN provider which often triggers the check too
It’s a custom build of chromium with Google specific things ripped out of the code
Most companies, including mine, don’t finger print VPNs this way. Also I’m sure this is caused by the traffic coming from the VPN endpoint. Not the fact that it is a VPN endpoint.
I would suggest OP switch to a different server.
I’m only in my first year of learning to be a SoC, but that kind of makes sense. I’ll have to look that up, and see what I can do with this knowledge on my VPN. Thanks
