It is so difficult to balance productivity/convenience and privacy/security. Only recently did I stop worrying about privacy/security, and frankly my online experience is much better. I can now participate in any services/apps that catch my eye, I now save CC data at some sites, don't have a VPN/Tor slowing traffic and giving me cloudflare walls/"im not a bot" verification, don't have noscript/ublock/privacy badger breaking most sites, can sync across devices and backup online. Having both secure & private online behavior is a massive inconvenience. You basically can't participate in the online world as it exists. (There are definitely opportunities to create secure/private versions of existing tools)
