The original article (https://www.lowpass.cc/p/vlc-five-billion-downloads-vision-pro-app) states

The app surpassed three billion downloads in early 2019

so there has been at least 2 billion downloads in the last 5 years. Also,

The latest version of VLC, which was released in November, has already been downloaded more than 335 million times by desktop users alone.

Yes I'm happy to pay money to Google when they make a reasonably priced phone with decent hardware and don't restrict the ability to install a custom OS.

It's the icons that look ugly IMO. If they used monochrome icons in the header bars then I think it'd be the best looking Linux desktop.

The I2P Project itself does not run any proxies to the Internet. The I2P software includes a default outproxy: exit.stormycloud.i2p. These are run by StormyCloud Inc.
https://stormycloud.org

By default, I2P comes with one outproxy configured: exit.stormycloud.i2p.

From the very bottom of this page (assuming you downloaded the i2p Java implementation -- I have no idea about the C++ version).

If you Google "what's my ip?" then you should see something like "Your IP address is 144.172.118.151 in Spring, Texas, United States (77387)", which makes sense since StormyCloud Inc. is apparently based in Texas.

The qBittorrent 4.6.0 alpha/beta adds support for i2p torrents. There is also a checkbox to enable "Mixed Mode" where the torrent will download through i2p and the clearnet at the same time. Sounds similar to what you are describing.
