I used to self host everything (nextcloud) but it was a pain, so I stopped. I just use google drive and fastmail because Im locked in with my fastmail email addresses. Firefox is still the privacy browser, despite its recent dying gasps it still goes hard. Ive taken to just doing things the frictionless way as I dont think my personal risk is very high and the extra effort taxes my productivity. E.g. if I let firefox store passwords (in addition to keepass) I can instantly log in everywhere, but anyone/thing on my PC could hijack my life. There is no single right approach, only various tradeoffs. Time and effort being spent causes direct harm, vs only risk of an inconvenience like identity theft. If I need to really cover my tracks I use tails and tor, but the better opsec is just not to do anything illegal/embarassing in the first place. I use windows because gnu/linux is too distracting to be my daily driver (endless config and rough edges and too easy to lose data, and windows has better bare metal gaming experience for competitive), though I've had several years using as my primary os. I use iDrive to clone all my data as a fire back up.
