The hardest problem in replacing Epic/Opera privacy browsers is the VPN.
It has to be a no-registration VPN extension to replace what they did.

First I tried Hide.ME VPN and that worked for a while but became flaky.
Then, I tried Urban VPN, which, interestingly, did the same thing.

Both worked fine - and then - after a day or two - they became flaky.
So now I'm trying Browsec VPN - which is working fine all day (so far).

Just in case, I've archived unpacked files for the following free ad free
no-registration chromium-based browser VPNs (most work for Mozilla too).

C:\> for /d %i in (*) do @for /d %j in ("%i\*") do @echo %j
     hidemevpn\ohjocgmpmlfahafbipehkhbaacoemojp
     hiddenbatvpn\bbmdbddokjkdlcicblahoeofpjkbeneo
     xvpn\flaeifplnkmoagonpbjmedjcadegiigl
     tunnelbearvpn\omdakjcmkglenbhjadbccaookpfjihpa
     securefreeedgevpn\mikenegoldghfdcmpchhobaabgkaikdj
     urbanvpn\eppiocemhmnlbhjplcgkofciiegomcon
     vpnly\lneaocagcijjdpkcabeanfpdbmapcjjg
          fail_bandwidth_limits\windscribevpn
          fail_registration\hotspotshieldvpn
          fail_registration\itopvpn
          fail_registration\protonvpn
     1clickvpn\pphgdbgldlmicfdkhondlafkiomnelnk
     1vpn\akcocjjpkmlniicdeemdceeajlmoabhg
     browsec\omghfjlpggmjjaagoclmmobgdodcjboh
     setupvpn\oofgbpoabipfcfjapgnbbjjaenockbdp

Note that hotspotshiled, itovpn and protonvpn failed miserably.
Windscribe VPN will only be used if nothing else works (not likely).

Caveat: I've used system-wide free public VPN for so many years I can't
count, and I used Opera/Epic VPN (actually) proxy for as many years too.

But this is my first time using these free VPN extensions, which are flaky.

As always, if you know more than I do about building a DIY privacy web
browser, please add value so that every post extends our tribal knowledge.
