    Yes, some people absolutely take things way too far, and often unproductively.

    Like the person who was trying to disable websockets. Or the people who will shun signal, but jump directly on the flavour of the month signal clone, which might be completely backdoored.

    If you dont know what you are doing, randomly turning things on and off at best does nothing, at worst makes you even more signaturable/trackable.

    Its good to educate yourself on various protections, but unfortunately, it requires a lot of careful research and understanding.
