I honestly dont know if i should post it here or not, but here goes. Most people that are privacy aware (or foss aware, they go hand in hand at this point) commonly have "that one program" that they cant quite let go.

Heres the thing, in my mind when i use such a service, my mind keeps nagging me that i COULD be using another program/service (this goes vice versa really)

If you have ever been in such a situation, what did you do to keep that little gremlin in your head at bay,

Remind myself of the 80/20 idea (or something like that)

20% of the effort gets you 80% there. Easy things like using Firefox instead of Chrome, Signal/Telegram instead of FB messenger/Whatsapp, managing cookies and opting out of tracking options is already doing a lot more than most people.
