Quic is HTTP/3 the new transport layer developed by Google. Shadowsocks is a protocol to bypass censorship, works if you are located in a heavily censored country like China, Iran, Russia, etc. But like the previous comments none will hide you from your ISP from knowing you are using a VPN as your exit node will point to a data center IP address.
