Considering the amount of conflict of interests and scare with using browser, I think the only, least risky way is to use someone else's internet to browse or to use TUI browser.

Then again, a non-programmer (i.e. me) would be having difficulties in removing privacy and security threats. For each exploit patched, I'd reckon there would have been dozen more circulating around the dark net. It's a worry that has been looming behind my head. I think one of the more important aspects of security is to know what you are up against. It's far easier to be secure on the internet if your goal is defined as "not being hacked by script kiddies" rather than broadly defining "government-agency sponsored, state-level threat" stuff.

As long as you're not a billionaire, I think the minimum steps to undertake is to limit your use of the internet. Kinda scary for a layman like me to see the internet and see everywhere that each click can get you hacked. Again, that sort of stuff would most likely apply to high value targets anyways... which I am not.
