    Some VPNs can block trackers in a very narrow sense. If they are set up to prevent DNS leaks and provide an internal DNS service, that can blackhole ads and trackers just like PiHole, Adguard Home, et al.

    There’s still a bunch of other ways to fingerprint people online, but I wouldn’t say using a VPN at home offers no benefits.
