The notion of "zero trust" shouldn't just mean corporations not having to inherently trust users and networks. It should also mean users not having to inherently trust corporations.
VPN providers all run the same two or three VPN protocols, all with similar security guarantees and privacy limitations.
I've been playing with MASQUE relays over the last year. Apple's iCloud Private Relay is a MASQUE relay (two, actually). MASQUE can offer genuine privacy improvements via traffic separation, preventing any single party from correlating the traffic source and destination.
Some of the privacy concerns of VPN users can be mitigated with better technology. And relays are built into Apple operating systems today. I'm surprised that they aren't very widely deployed yet.
I did a little synth project recently that uses an AudioWorklet processor to morph between single-cycle waveforms, and it worked super well. When I tried to do this with the Web Audio API, the audio would stutter when I moved the controls. Switching to an AudioWorklet thread eliminated the stuttering issue. So, if you need real-time sound shaping controls, you may find that AudioWorklet is a better fit.
