I use mullvad's vpn and I know very well what you're talking about. Social media websites will shadowban you without any TOS violating actions on your part. Certain financial sites will straight up refuse to work, and the worst of all are the sites that use only certain js libs hosted on cdns that straight up refuse to serve anyone on a vpn. That leaves you with a site that looks like it's responding, but is in fact broken.
I feel like the very act of trying to opt out of the web's surveillance is enough to mark you as a second class citizen on the web. You either submit, and let your isp and google resell your most sensitive secrets, or you're effectively shunned.
Regarding tor, it's a great idea tarnished by the fact that it's used for vile illegal activity. There's no way I would ever run a tor exit node. The risk of some 3 letter agency taking all my hardware for a few months while they figure out I'm not the guy they're looking for is too damned high.
