What is the complete current list of all known *Windows* free VPN browsers?

Given the trolls infested the cross-platform thread, out of the goodness
of my heart, as always, to help everyone, in addition to learning myself,
this is a second adult attempt at asking if we have the complete list yet.
o <Windows: <https://i.postimg.cc/hjjVXkq5/taskbarmenu07.jpg>

I ask the question because I can't possibly know more than everyone does.
o Do you know of Windows VPN browsers other than those listed below?

If so, please add value by posting that browser so we can test it.
o If you don't know any more than is in this OP, please don't prove that.

Do not post to this thread if you aren't adding on-topic technical value.
o Please. As we're trying to get something useful done here.

Not play trolls' infantile games.

The requirements to make the "VPN browser" list are simple:
1. It must be free
2. It must be ad free
3. It must be account free (i.e., no login required)
4. It must be unlimited VPN (unless stated otherwise)
5. The connection to the VPN service "should" be encrypted.

Is this the entire list of available *Windows* free VPN browsers?
o Opera browser with free VPN, by Opera
Windows: <https://www.opera.com>

See a critical review of the "vpn vs proxy" issue over here:
<https://www.michalspacek.com/opera-browsers-vpn-is-just-a-proxy>

o Epic Privacy Browser, by Hidden Reflex
Windows: <https://www.epicbrowser.com>

Note: With the later versions, you need to install the proxy extension.
o Save your old freeware Epic privacy browser Windows installer as the new ones changed how they did VPN
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/7FwuZz7WNSk>

This browser I've installed, & it works, but not well enough to be trusted:
o UR Browser, by AdaptiveBee
Windows: <https://www.ur-browser.com>

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.

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

Can't find a canonical version:
o Globus VPN Browser
<https://globus-vpn-browser.en.lo4d.com/windows>
<https://www.thewindowsclub.com/globus-free-vpn-tor-browser>

See also:
o Globus VPN Browser - new - but is it a gimmick - and where is it from?
<https://groups.google.com/g/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/c/w9r9ZKTnBsg>

Honorable Mention (as an onion browser isn't the same as a proxy browser):
o Tor Browser: Official, Private, & Secure, by The Tor Project
Windows: <https://www.torproject.org/download/>

Similar, but different concept (as it adds "Tor" but not "VPN/Proxy"):
o Brave Private Browser & VPN, by Brave Software (with Tor on Windows)
Windows: <https://brave.com/download/> (note the addition of Tor on Windows)

See also:
o How do you start the freeware Brave browser in Tor mode from a Windows desktop/taskbar shortcut?
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/82CyFJeWwTs>

o Tutorial: How to install the free Brave privacy-based tor-enabled web browser where YOU want it to install
(and how to save a full offline installer in the process)
<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/bog50yqc_As>

o How do you start the freeware Brave browser in Tor mode from a Windows desktop/taskbar shortcut?
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/82CyFJeWwTs>

See also:
o All known free ad-free VPN-proxy native ad-blocking web browsers currently available on Windows
<https://groups.google.com/g/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/c/PC0cw7olG3M>
o Pragmatic experience with Freegate, Ultrasurf, and Polarity privacy-related web-surfing tools
<https://groups.google.com/g/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/c/oHuik0iDqcA/>

In summary, if this thread has only this one OP, that's fine as that
just means we already have the list of all free Windows VPN browsers.
