YouTube -- and presumably the rest of Chrome -- is now ignoring my VPN proxy extensions. Prior to twenty-four hours ago, if my Google account was signed out, YouTube's "home page" was in the language of some VPN country with nothing to indicate my viewing history. Now, with my Google account off, I get the YouTube/Google home page tailored specifically for my Chromebook laptop account, even though a VPN is switched on.
I suppose what that means is that Chrome/Google engineers have added code to bypass the VPNs I add to my Chrome extensions -- without my permission or even telling me of any company change in policy. What that also means is that Chrome/Google can share my viewing results with anyone it likes as if the VPNs did not even exist.
