Using outlook mail in linux (slrpnk.net)

Due to work I need to use Microsoft outlook mail on a daily basis. What I would like to know is the privacy and security concerns of various options:

Login and use outlook on a browser for general purposes
Use a tailered third party client from flatpak such as https://flathub.org/en-GB/apps/io.github.mahmoudbahaa.outlook_for_linux
Use thunderbird
Any other possibilities

I use Firefox for most purposes, but have chromium on there for anything related to grad school. Which includes, among other things, Office 365 and Outlook Online. On Fedora 38 if it matters.

Used to use Thunderbird with enigmail for PGP back in the day, it was good. The separate browser is fine now, but T bird is a fine option.
