Cuz based on the type of accidents, it probably wouldn't make sense. It is just adding extra cost.

If enough people join in the same behaviour, Google will notice all the data gathering is losing value, and if the value is low enough the effort to gather it should be directed to something else. As a result new data is not gathered.
And if I use only ad blockers, all that data losses value.
Twitter( or whatever they want to call it now or in 2 months) needs to die. There are better options for users and content creators then praying every day that the billionaire doesn't get another idea.
If I were to steal someones phone in public I will assume they have at least a bank app and multiple apps with their card saved for easy buying. By the time they get access to another device or their banks I get enough time to do a lot of damage. I can also save some credentials for later access after the waters settle. I doubt my victim will go through each of their accounts and change passwords. Most users use a Gmail account which has multiple ways to get access back, and most users don't know how to check them and disable what they use and not use. I can easy setup a sort of backdoor in their email and gather more important information.
You never know what important information you might store in your Github account. You have a donation link in your description? Would be a pity if I would change that link to my personal bank account and just divert some fund back in your bank account to not raise suspicion.
Fairphone do some modularity with their phone.
More secure. If my phone is stolen, they have full acces to my mailbox but they will look long and hard at my passworded 2FA app.
Try to use a mix of both open source and proprietary software depending on the software. I use YouTube with a subscription, and I also use RSS feeds and foss and donate to the creator.
I am somewhat in the beginning of my career and I was looking at the "Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate" and how it advertised to help with a CompTIA Security+ certification.
Is this something that would be recommended to do?
I also currently use it with Syncthing and it works but I was looking in some alternatives to maybe minimize the amount of apps I use.
