This is overboard and paranoid for the average user. You are almost certainly not a target for your government and probably not a criminal and so don't need to worry about full disk encryption, your google search history, a judge compelling you to unlock your phone, etc.

Most people should just use an adblocker and strong passwords.




People get their electronics stolen all the time. I use FDE despite knowing that if law enforcement ever seized my computer, they'd probably force me to unlock it or throw me in prison for contempt for the rest of my life. I use FDE simply because I don't want to worry about some asshole stealing my stuff and getting access to all my files.
