If I had to dumb it down to just a few options, it would be:

  • Run the latest Google Pixel phone w/ GrapheneOS
  • Switch browser to Brave
  • Use a good VPN that accepts Bitcoin/LN like IVPN or Mullvad

Awesome - I've actually recently been thinking about what phone I want to get next, so will definitely keep this in mind.

What would you say are the main pros/cons of running GrapheneOS? I imagine there have to be some sacrifices for running a privacy-focused OS

reply

Very little sacrifice IMO, the experience (if you're willing to enable Google Play Services) is pretty seamless outside of losing Google Pay.

reply

Awesome! Will move this straight to the top of my list then. Appreciate your input.

reply

LibreWolf is a good recommendation too.

reply

Definitely, but not available on mobile so I usually default to Brave for a cross-platform choice.

reply

I don't know how comparable is privacy with librewolf, but I use fennec browser for mobile. It could run firefox extensions too, and being a firefox fork I risk to affirm it's same (for firefox). Even using alby extension with it.

reply

Yeah for mobile I also use Mull, supports extensions too

reply

About the Brave recommendation, what is your take about these shortcoming?
