There was a time all my network traffic passed through TOR. I tried kept myself off-grid, not taking pictures, avoiding being recorded, but whenever I started a new job, WhatsApp was used for official message system, instead of e-mails, also problems while dating etc, so I thank for that. I'm linux user for more than 10 years, I'm aware of F-droid and FOSS principles.
But I prefer my device being tracked because of the theft scenario in my country, while able to retrieve it. 'Google Find My Device' will work until someone get my phone and fact reset it. I'd prefer to pay for a 5EUR that could assist on device tracking even after factory resetting the phone.
A more tech-savvy thief could perform a full cleanup reflashing the system, but I'd still pay for the price.
