So I'm supposed to trust an unknown operator that runs a proxy server
hoping that they won't track me. I could chain the proxies hoping that
they aren't in collusion with each other. And, of course, I definitely
want to impact connection reliability and reduce speed along with losing
use of some protocols, like HTTPS. Last I remember, cookies are saved
on my host, not on the proxy. I'm not remote desktoping to their proxy
to run the browser from there. Javascript works quite nicely, if
enabled, to report your IP address.

I don't have to worry about cookies. I manage them rather than let them
clutter, and I only have to manage just a few for the domains that I
whitelist.

Which means that forums should blacklist the public proxies. There are
blacklists for those. You've been lucky so far that the forums don't
use them.
