Tried Impression(s)? It's on Flathub

Then Proton seems to be the only usable VPN for anyone who Torrents and gives a shit about seeding. (Only scumbags don't seed)

At least out of the three privacy oriented ones you mentioned that at least has OSS clients IIRC

Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point

Isn't Insomnia pulling the same shit as Postman nowadays?

There was a soft fork Insomnium but that's been unmaintained for a long while, so I just use Bruno

Exactly; a lot of international organisations are already located in Switzerland, so there shouldn't be many gripes with that (also means you aren't at the whims of a global empire in self-destruct mode)

that's... false?

There is default encryption and you can enable stricter and contact storage and force highest transport encryption in the settings.
It also supports PGP

From their FAQ it's great and covers a lot of questions better than I ever could):

What is AdNauseam's performance like? Will it speed up or slow down my browsing? AdNauseam is significantly faster (and safer) than using either of the two most popular blockers, Adblock or Adblock Plus, and nearly twice as fast as using no blocker at all. Metrics with more browsers and adblockers on the way...

From their website:

As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks' databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile.

AdNauseam is a free browser extension designed to obfuscate browsing data and protect users from tracking by advertising networks. At the same time, AdNauseam serves as a means of amplifying users' discontent with advertising networks that disregard privacy and facilitate bulk surveillance agendas.
