I don't think anything can monitor or mess with your local web traffic once you have encrypted DNS.

VPNs don't add any privacy over HTTPS+DoH. Installing CA certs and whatnot is insane.

Stop getting your opsec advice from influencers on youtube. It's snake oil.

"VPNs don't add any privacy over HTTPS+DoH"

For someone so smug, you sure say some stupid shit. In what world would wrapping all of your traffic in an encrypted tunnel not provide additional privacy when using a public endpoint?

You're routing all your traffic through a single inspection point. They too can scrape anything that isn't HTTPS. They can list every site you visit without DoH.

Corporations are just as unaccountable as ISPs and governments.
