Seeking Advice: Recommendations and Questions on Enhancing Privacy and Security

It comes down to personal preference. I like Canary’s interface a bit better. I think their search tool is easier to use. On my phone, which is where I actually use Canary the most, I take advantage of some of its other features (that Mail doesn’t have). I think either would be fine for encrypted emails.

I don’t know, there are so many things to consider : who achieves it, what is the geopolitical situation when it is achieved, how good is the new quantum supremacy, how much does it cost, etc.

In general big powers are first of all used for geopolitics concerns. Then whether the Q-day will bring us into a new kind of dictatorship or nothing really major will happen, I have no idea.

You need a threat model before going any further.

Yes, its a very open ended and constantly evolving question.
Very easy to get fatigued, discouraged and nihilistic.
The best one can do is decide what’s important right now then start chipping away at it.
Here’s an example threat model of a person that prioritized security and privacy with other people and assumes there’s no protection against big government overreach other than making logins to gov’t sites as secure as possible.
