Bluestacks and Nox have horrible privacy policies, any good android emulators?

Only run it in a VM because it’s insecure as hell.
It’s based on Wayland, what’s the insecurity here?
The fact that it lacks sandboxing? For crying out loud.
Probably because it’s kinda in maintenance mode and is still stuck on Android 11 
EDIT: I really like Waydroid, but unfortunately it doesn’t look to be the most alive right now
Stuck on ancient Android versions without tons of security patches.

Oh yeah that’s fair enough, I apologize.

Very likely Android has a desktop version soon-ish. And replaces ChromeOS by the end of this decade.
Also, if I’m not wrong, projects like Waydroid are based on Google’s Cuttlefish (docs). Unsure if Cuttlefish would be enough for your needs: I have never used it to run apps.

It cannot be worse than the alternatives OP mentioned, plus it’s better for privacy. If you were to run in a VM, it would maybe be better to instead install BlissOS, but then performance would be very bad.
