Questions about VPN

If I run through a VPN, so my IP is now based in, let's say, Somalia, how does Youtube or HC show my stored credentials/passwords when I connect, are such passwords stored in Firefox database then applied to addresses I visit, regardless of IP? Anyone knows this stuff?

Those are stored on the device, yes.

Corribus hates Tor users, so better watch out.

Hi, the information is indeed stored on the device as a fingerprint. Your device sends this data every time it connects, which is designed for convenience and you don't have to re-adjust the site for yourself every time. If you want to hide your location and device, you can use complex services (I personally use a mac vpn service, because I use a mac computer), like [url]https://macpaw.com/clearvpn[/url], or run incognito mode in your browser, or run browser only with emulators. As it is more convenient for you, of course. Depends on the goal)
