What free, ad free, account free, free unlimited bandwidth VPN (aka proxy) browsers do you know of?

o Since I use Android, Windows, & iOS (in that order), here's what I know of:
Android: <https://i.postimg.cc/WpM4FM5t/web01.jpg>
Windows: <https://i.postimg.cc/hjjVXkq5/taskbarmenu07.jpg>
iOS: <https://i.postimg.cc/LXzB3Lc0/appleid01.jpg>

Here's what I know of (almost all of which I've installed & used myself):

o Opera browser with free VPN, by Opera
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.opera.browser>
Windows: <https://www.opera.com>
iOS: <???I didn't see an Opera VPN browser on the Apple App Store???>
<https://www.opera.com/mobile>

Note: Mobile setup for full-time VPN is a multi-step non-intuitive process:

See detailed critical review here:

<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.freeware/c/XkKAeGFz4fQ/>

o Epic Privacy Browser, by Hidden Reflex
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.epic.browser>
Windows: <https://www.epicbrowser.com>
iOS: <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/epic-privacy-browser-w-vpn/id1502032811>

Note: With the later versions, you need to install the proxy extension.

o Tenta Private VPN Browser + Ad Blocker (Beta), by AVG Labs (aka Avast)
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tenta.android>
Windows: Not Available
iOS: Not Available

Note: They are, apparently, working on a Windows & iOS version:
<https://tenta.com/platform-support?platform=windows?platform=windows>

o Aloha Browser Lite - Private browser and free VPN, by Aloha Mobile
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alohamobile.browser.lite>
Windows: Not Available <https://thetechmirror.com/aloha-browser-for-windows/>
iOS: <https://apps.apple.com/au/app/aloha-browser-private-vpn-tor/id1105317682>

Canonical web page: <https://alohabrowser.com/>

Note: Be advised, confusingly so, there are multiple aloha Android variants:
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alohamobile.browser.lite> Ad free
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aloha.browser> Contains Ads
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alohamobile.browser> Contains Ads
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alohamobile.vpn> VPN client
etc.
In addition to apps named Aloha from other companies.

Honorable Mention (as an onion browser isn't the same as a proxy browser):
o Tor Browser: Official, Private, & Secure, by The Tor Project
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.torproject.torbrowser>
Windows: <https://www.torproject.org/download/>
iOS: Not available <https://support.torproject.org/tormobile/tormobile-3/>

Similar, but probably scams:
o UR Browser, by AdaptiveBee
Android: Not available
Windows: <https://www.ur-browser.com>
iOS: Not available

See detailed critical review here (caveat emptor):
<https://www.michalspacek.com/ur-browser-vpn-and-other-tales>

Note: The 500MB/month VPN appears to be free, but you must create an account;
but I don't think you need anything more than a valid email for that.

Similar, but contains Ads:
o Pico Browser - Unblock Free VPN Proxy Browser, by Pico Browser (Contains Ads)
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pico.browser>
Windows: <?>
iOS: <?>

<https://downloads.zdnet.com/product/2150-78370127/>

Similar, but different concept (as it adds "Tor" but not "VPN/Proxy"):
o Brave Private Browser & VPN, by Brave Software (with Tor on Windows)
Android: <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brave.browser>
Windows: <https://brave.com/download/> (note the addition of Tor on Windows)
iOS: <https://apps.apple.com/us/app/brave-private-web-browser/id1052879175>
Note: I think the Guardian VPN is not free.

Any proxy browser (most suck, if not all, & most if not all, have ads anyway):
o Azka Anti Block Browser - Unblock without VPN, by VPN Tech Studio (Contains Ads)
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azka.browser.anti.blokir>
o Free Unblock Sites VPN Proxy Browser, by mobiledevca (Contains Ads)
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.getfilefrom.browserproxy>

Any proxy web page (there are zillions out there):
o (e.g., <https://www.hidemyass.com/en-us/proxy>)

Can't find:
o Globus VPN Browser
<https://globus-vpn-browser.en.lo4d.com/windows>

In summary, this thread is opened to be purposefully helpful, as always,
in adding value, where the request is the combined knowledge of the ng
to further flesh out what I have stated, off the cuff, ad hoc, above:

Q: What other free, ad free, account free, free unlimited bandwidth
VPN (aka proxy) browsers do you, off hand, yourself know of?
