I've been manually going through everything, including merging credentials going back two decades across 2-3 browsers finally to a single password manager, and... geez, there's literal months' worth of reviewing to do if you added up all the time if it was nonstop.

I'm just curious about how others' experiences have been, for those who shifted towards a more anti-megacorp stance later on.

I don't know... I guess I'm being too cautious... though it's also kind of a fun (or maybe sometimes painful lol) stroll down Memory Lane at times...

I have a data hoarding problem, so I don't know how to help really, lol. I just sometimes feel okay deleting an installer from years ago and feel proud of myself

Ironically, I just cleared out an unexpected temporary-files stash of those, haha!
