If you use a hardware wallet, use it connected to Electrum and / or Sparrow, that is connected to your own node.
Done. And nobody will "see" your xpub.
Seems that many people love to use the Muun wallet, but I wonder why they never ask an important question in regards of xpub of Muun: WHO is reading that xpub?
Because the user itself cannot obtain it / extract it to manage it separately. Muun server must know it, otherwise can't do the mumbo jumbo with submarine swaps.
I really don't understand how so many "privacy advocates" recommend Muun as safe wallet app when only Muun servers control the xpub of that wallet.

Great write up of how to run your own node. As a non tech person, so glad I invested the time to learn. https://darthcoin.substack.com/p/umbrel-bitcoin-ln-node

Good point. Muun does have many shortcomings.
