Wouldn't it be great if independent auditors were standard, responsible for holding companies accountable for their data security practices, coupled with a rating system akin to those used in the banking sector? Before paying for a service, consumers would be aware of how secure the service is. Say A++ or AAA.

I'm all for privacy, but I'm not all for using the comment section to talk about abortion rights.

Have you considered using a sandbox app such as Insular which is available on F-droid or Shelter.

Shelter creates a work profile, isolating apps installed in this profile from the mainland. Shelter has the advantage of supporting per-site data isolation with Android 13, which achieves the same goal as sandboxing.

You can isolate entirely your contacts from being seen by other apps if set up correctly. Furthermore, Shelter allows for a VPN only for the work profile, which is a useful feature for enhancing privacy.

I have used an app called island in the past, but sadly it's been discontinued,it was great as it allowed a VPN both outside and inside the sandbox.

This one of my most used apps at the moment, it works 100% on your device and is great for filling in search terms, for AI prompts , messages etc. The only downside is that it seems to have a character limit so it may not be what OP is looking for.
