RE: NordVPN or SurfShark when you want to look like a harmless average internet user ...

I think those things are mutually exclusive. When I'm going anonymous, I go all in and use TAILS.

If it doesn't have MAC address spoofing, they know EXACTLY who you are.

Don’t most devices use session-unique MACs at least for WiFi connections?

Tails is good against fingerprinting but Tor exit node IP gives a suspicious vibe and many of them are blocked by many websites. I’m hoping those VPNs give a more neutral public WiFi user signature.

You can use TAILS without TOR and a USB tethered burner phone to be very anonymous and appear fairly neutral. Anything that masks or spoofs your IP is going to raise some hackles if they're looking.

I feel like they might just target all Linuces coming from my ISP’s IP address space so just using a VPN could give enough cloak. Using Tor could also be an option but the low browser fingerprint reputation score and therefore slow captchas are a little too much resistance

Yeah, give that to them to keep them occupied. Get a burner phone and set up another identity for whatever you're trying to keep anonymous. If you want to be anonymous, you're going to need a straw man.

The issue with a phone is that it has integrated microphones and a camera unless you get some privacy model with switches which in most cases are available only by mail order or tear it apart and desolder.

You only need it for internet. Smash the camera and superglue the microphone.

Maybe I just get an USB LTE modem instead
