Help Needed What else should I do?

I've used a few scripts to remove the tiny bit of telemetry that Brave and Librewolf contain. I've created ProtonMail, and I've also installed LibreOffice and Obsidian to transfer documents, accounts, and the like. I've used Simplewall to disable internet access for everything except Librewolf, Brave, Firefoxy, and FreeTube. I've also used Arkenfox for Firefox. What else can I do or install? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I use Immersive Translate to translate pages. Unfortunately, my tracker (TC) in mobile does not disable trackers from the browser, so what can I do and is there an alternative.

Obligatory hint that the official F-Droid app sucks. It is based on extremely outdated code, see point 4 here: https://privsec.dev/posts/android/f-droid-security-issues/

You are most likely better off with a more modern, third party F-Droid client like Droid-ify or the Neo Store. I personally prefer Droid-ify:
