It's also good to remember that every single interaction can and will be exploited if you're a target, physically or virtually. Devices are a valid concern, but what about your day-to-day interactions with the world around you? Depending on who is interested, they know how to be patient. I was reminded of a recent case of a group of criminals who would surveil and interact with the target as if they were neighbors or random people on the street. The goal was to kill. They knew the entire routine—they didn't need to hack any devices.
why would you say brave is slop and what would you recommend?
Brave falls in the camp of privacy LARP, and is still adware with a dubious sustainability model... and a shitcoin
There are really no great browser options, but ungoogled chromium is the closest in terms of active maintenance and compatibility https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Floorp has potential, but firefox derivatives seem to be losing the compatibility battle https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp
Zen is another https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop
GNU IceCat was a nice option, but the maintainer seems to be dropping off
GNOME has Epiphany, which is based on WebKit (Safari)
Thank you!
Software is easy, wipe drive and just run Linux... isolate slop like zoom and chrome/brave from your user space
Nothing can be done about hardware, any Intel, AMD, or ARM chip is compromised at the motherboard level by the NSA (GCHQ partner)
Hardware wallets all use closed chips too, theater, and targeted customer lists.
All you can do is not be a state level adversary that warrants their attention, or run Chinese RISC hardware and trade the NSA for the 3PLA
