If you have a generic enough useragent string and using standard ipv4 deployment (shared by many homes and/or rotating, usual isp)/mobile internet/workspace internet it is pretty hard to fingerprint.
I've not seen google fingerprinting with canvas or other weird techniques (though these can be defeated in even standard firefox) yet.
Like what? I mean you don't save cookies/local storage either, or use private browsing always.
At most google see your search terms, results you click and your ip address. Unless you're using ipv6 without rotation or with unique prefix there is no identifying information.
Apart from usual ubo, reader mode and friends trained eyes are very effective content filter. We all can glance on a search result page or an article and immediately know if it's content or low effort craps.
Stay out of mainstream social media, stop consuming 'feeds'. Stay in the realms of personal sites, blogs and sane link aggregators/rss to keep mental peace of not having to filter garbage with eyes everyday.
I don't know. But one potential advantage of bsky over mastodon is the data and real account migration capability between instances.
Also bsky is run by a company and overall infra is better than most community instances of mastodon, so people will see better performance and more ad/pr visibility of the platform.
I find banking apps pretty infuriating. Don't support rooted/custom rom. Too easy to make mistake. Susceptible to 'malware' (ie intent jacking or if the app logs tokens in logcat lol). I use netbanking when needed. For txn logs, mostly SMS works fine.
I find keeping bank account logged in always isn't necessary and just a invitation of hassles.
It always worked for me except in some cases the 'hardware' compositor (ie the wayland side) is a bit buggy for clipboards and inputs in general. I had issues with lxc network in past but that's long ago.
I still don't understand what borked your system. Waydroid downloads the images, mounts and runs them inside lxc just like normal android. It doesn't touch your /usr or anything else. Works well in immutable os too.
Android userland is vastly different from 'linux' ie desktop linux people are used to. While there exists unshare/proot based containers (termux is an example) it might not be suitable for privileged features of kernel except for rooted devices.
Chromeos is much closer to desktop linux (init being upstart not systemd afaik) but still the 'linux' apps run inside crosvm to keep the locked down nature of the os intact.
Using tor with anything google is a PITA at best.
