You may be better off asking a Monero community; I think they have more knowledge on this matter.

LibreWolf won’t be impacted, they’re already considering to move to Phoenix instead.

Phoenix: https://codeberg.org/celenity/Phoenix

LibreWolf issue: https://codeberg.org/librewolf/issues/issues/2823

Phoenix is also used by IronFox.

Phoenix is also an alternative which can be used with Vanilla Firefox.

Since the author edited the title, Phoenix, according to the credits does not rely on Arkenfox at all.

This is rather a niche case, but I regulary file complaints to data protection authorities in Germany, and many of them do actually offer the option to encrypt the emails they send to you using PGP, same for a police report I once made.

The accurate term is “installing”, not sideloading. Sideloading is a term used to make people think installing the software of your choice is something “shady” and not normal.

Their marketing shoots down PGP on their website with false claims why their encryption is so much better. They for example claim that PGP does not encrypt the subject line, which is false as that is already supported, just not adopted everywhere yet.

I personally suggest against Tuta as they refuse to implement support for open-standard E-Mail encryption like PGP. But they’re definitely better than Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, GMX, etc.

Posteo is a very legitimate email provider based in Germany. Your bank is really stupid for flagging and rejecting it, their is absolutely nothing about them that should trigger their systems.

An alternative would be Mailbox, it’s very similar to Posteo and I have made good experiences with it.

Why did you switch away from Proton? Most drama surrounding it is very overblown and the consequences of being a large company, not everyone always does everything right who works for them.

I would tbh recommend to just switch to DNS-based blocking by changing your DNS provider in the Android settings (“Private DNS”).

I don’t think Google “search” is has a 99% marketshare, it is probably less.

BlueMoon and Periodical can also be found on the F-Droid app store, no need for Google Play Services:

Same for Germany, and I think even the whole EU.

Your best option is to use a browser with fingerprinting protections like Brave. Not sending a user agent at all is realistically speaking not feasible.

Avoid “Private Internet Access” at all costs. It’s run by Kape Technologies, the company behind multiple VPN providers like ExpressVPN and CyberGhost.

If you read their legal agreements, you’ll notice they are rather questionable.

Also, don’t use a VPN from a Chinese provider. As far as I’m aware, Chinese companies are heavily regulated and legally required to share data with the Chinese government without a warrant or similar order.

I suggest taking a look at this chart, which might be helpful: https://vpn.techlore.tech/
