Never. On any provider. I mainly use E2EE providers but even on others.

I don’t trust them. Too many red flags.
UI has in fact improved but I still find some apps (specially for iOS) somewhat tacky.
Being launched by CERN scientists shouldn’t be a deciding factor.
But yes, Proton is as safe as it gets.
The best advice you will ever receive is to not use a company’s provided phone on personal affairs.
2FAS on my iPhone with the browser extension on my MacBook.
When I need to enter the code on my laptop, I just click the icon extension, which pings my phone, I accept the request and it auto-fills.
Phones. Not iPhones. Phones.
Tresorit is the gold standard. Quite hard shoes to fill.
When using a different personal device isn’t a possibility, this is the way you do it.
I’ve been remote for a while, and I had an old computer just for work. Wiped everything, reinstalled Windows and that computer was just for work.
When I resumed on-site work, wiped everything again and installed Linux.
If I had one computer only, I would go with a virtual machine.
I use aliases through a third party (DDG E-mail Protection) everywhere except with my banking, my government and my health services. And even on those, I don’t give the primary e-mail adress. Since I have a custom domain, I create one alias for each ([email protected], [email protected], [email protected]).
Skiff (https://skiff.com/) with custom domain for e-mail. Alternatives: Tutanota (https://tutanota.com/) or Proton Mail (https://proton.me/)
Ente Photos (https://ente.io/) for photo storage. Alternatives: Stingle Photos (https://stingle.org/) or Cryptee (https://crypt.ee/)
I use both VeraCrypt and Cryptomator.
Cryptomator works best for cloud storage but I have a few local stored Cryptomator vaults and they work beautifully.
Firefox (hardened with this guide: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers/#firefox) or Brave.
I believe you will be better served with a dedicated GPS tracker on those situations.
Firefox user here. For years I’ve been using Chrome. Moved to Firefox. Can’t say I miss Chrome or Chromium based browsers.
Proton Mail, Tutanota or Skiff would be my recommendations.
Nowadays my daily e-mail provider is Skiff.
Can’t link to Thunderbird but that’s the price to pay for E2EE. Personally I’m fine with that but I understand that my needs are different from every other person.
YouTube is the only Google service I use on a regular basis. Happy to leave them behind if they continue with this type of behavior.
It would be less convenient, but it is what it is and if there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s ads.
macOS because I own a MacBook.
If not, Arch Linux. Used it for years prior to buying my MacBook.
Bitwarden. Tried Proton Pass but ultimately stuck with Bitwarden.
It has been my password manager of choice for quite some time and I didn’t see any reason to change.
