You make a good point.

Hell yeah, comrade!

Or, if you decide you MUST use corporate social media, put it behind a secure web browser and isolate your use to only social media.

I can’t be sure it works 100%. I can just hope Brave and Google have competing interests for me.

But best to stop patronizing those platforms as best you can.

What if anything do you do to try to mitigate it?

I’ve been pretty happy with it as my casual web search browser, putting all my social media on a different browser. And it’s in F-Droid, so that always feels good.
