I wouldn't trust them not to store the initial one as well tbh. Nothing technically stops that and it's in their interests.

From the context of your previous comments, it seemed like you were talking not about not having a mobile phone in general, but rather a SIMless phone. Using it over Wi-Fi only is indeed doable - but you'd need an Airplane Mode on an OS you can trust, just having no SIM would not be enough.

Also no, I did not have such a job - I don't understand how this question relates to the conversation.

Yeah, Brave has even worse track record than stock Firefox.

I also have not seen Zcash accepted as payment nowhere nearly as frequently as Monero.

An IMEI moving around.

You're just shifting trust though - may be good in some cases, but not universal. Aldo does nothing about the cell tower connections tracking the location.

In a lot of places, cell carriers enforce KYC too though.

Although it's the only place I've seen that leaves a chunk of silence while the ad plays.

Very weird, I am using it daily and it works just fine. Maybe you're using an older version? Rather than using F-Droid's repo, I use NewPipe's own.

At least when it came to a laptop, I bought mine without a preinstalled OS - that is far more common than preinstalled Linux.

Well, I am pretty sure the FOSS apps I use don't have external trackers at least.

Or, better, not use a car at all because automated license plate readers. Cars seem antithetical to anonymity in general. Better take a tram/bus/subway and buy tickets with cash. Or at least call a taxi if it's really far from any transport stops.
