Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate it.

I, in fact, used to do just that, what you you suggested. I didn't just switch back to full blown privacy invasive apps right from the cold turkey. The switching was gradual.

From using Tor browser for most of my browsing, I switched back to Firefox with no script and UMatrix add-ons and others that I don't remember now.

Then I switched to Firefox with UBlock Origin, privacy badger and HTTPS everywhere addons. After that I switched to just Firefox with only ublock origin.

After some time, I switched to brave browser. And nowadays I just mostly use Google Chrome for convenience's sake.

So yeah, I've tried different combinations, but at last convenience won. This is what I think the number one competitor of pro-privacy apps.

Privacy respecting apps are not always that convenient to use compared to the competitors. On the contrary, the tech giants make their apps the most convenient they could without respecting your privacy.

So privacy preserving apps should make make their services more convenient to use. This would help them gain more users than anything else.

As per your suggestions, I think I'll take it and switch back to using the privacy preserving apps most of the time and when that doesn't work, I'll just use what works. Thank you.

And one more thing, would you mind sharing which apps do you use or maybe recommend from privacy point of view?
