I guess a lot of us do some form of privacy/security theatre. I’m at least doing it quite a lot of it, and it’s difficult to stop thinking of new things that could (but probably never will) go wrong.

So instead of hearing how safe and cool your setup is, I’d like to hear how you simplified things and stopped the (hopefully 🤔) needless overthinking.

    I’d like to hear how you simplified things

    I quit social media and use YouTube through a proxy (invidious).

    On Firefox, I compartmentalize accounts in their own container, and only log into websites using an account if it’s required for me to make a purchase, pay a bill, etc.

    I also try to use websites over apps, and always with an adblocker with strong ad/tracker filters.

    I’ve switched most of my apps over to FOSS, which often don’t have trackers in them, and are generally more privacy-friendly.

    And I also self-host a lot of stuff that would otherwise require a data-mining corporation to hold my data hostage, host.
