GrapheneOS and Techlore both have solid communities to use to learn about privacy but, there is a ton of intermingling between them and Privacy Guides so you may not like it.

r/privacy is a bit more casual but its mods are terrible and there is a ton of disinformation to sift through.

I think easyoptouts is worth it ($20/quarter). It has like a 70% success rate which will decrease a ton of grunt work for you. There are a lot (well north of 150+) of these data sites to try and manage.

Just because you remove data once does not mean it won’t be put back on the site later which means you need to make a habit of constantly rechecking the sites if you chose to do it yourself.

I would also recommend signing up to have Google alert you when your name comes up in searches. This will make it easy to remove them from Google and let you know what you still have to remove.

I would just caution you to make sure the changes you make to Mullvad don’t change its fingerprint otherwise its kind of moot to use it over a privacy configured version of Firefox.

You can at least self host this option. Still a lot of the same privacy issues any type of tracking software is going to have.

Sorry if I am misunderstanding what you need.

The most private way to buy Monero would be using https://haveno.exchange/ (no KYC, transactions over Tor)

In terms of wallets I think Feather or Cake Wallet is the way to go.

Its a bit odd to see an employee of a company that has always had a terrible privacy policy now be suddenly alarmed.

If I’m not mistaken the big missing privacy feature vs privacy.com is that you are still required to provide your real name and other accurate details as part of the transaction process.
