I only really know the basics about metadata, VPNs, and the fact that your phone is basically a walking tracker. I get that if you want true privacy, the answer is just "don’t use electronics lol"

But I also know that abandoning technology entirely is counterproductive these days. So… what should I actually use and keep in mind? I’ve heard Tuta isn’t trustworthy either

Don't take my word for it as I haven't actually done it myself, but I believe you can run SearXNG behind a proxy or a Tor relay without needing a privately acquired VPS. Rotating public instances would probably be easier and faster though.
