Check the Google settings. If one of them is constantly recording your position, that'll drain battery rather quickly.

And I'd shave it every day!
Note that your Google account is pseudonymous, not anonymous. It's still an account related to your person, just without your real name attached. That's a step up from a clear-name Google account but nowhere near private.
Google can mine an insane amount of data out of just when you are online and/or using their services.
It sounds to me like they're only holding it back temporarily to have users notified in advance; giving them a chance to cope before breaking their apps.
StartPage also blocks VPN usage.
Only accidental I think. They have the option of reporting that you're behind a VPN proxy when it happens.
Fairphone is also regularly criticized that they're struggling to keep up full support for devices that are just a few years old.
Where?
This is true for the entire smartphone industry excepct Fairphone and maybe a handful others.
Problem is that this domain (whether it includes your real name or not) is still related to your person as you are the sole user.
If you created accounts at Google, Amazon and Facebook using a schema of [email protected], don't you think they'd be able to tell it's the same person who created those accounts?
With the likes of [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected], that identification vector is simply ruled out.
Indeed, interesting
SimpleLogin is the product of SimpleLogin SAS, registered in France under the SIREN number 884302134. SimpleLogin SAS is part of Proton AG.
A point can be made here for email providers that also provide aliasing services such as Protonmail/SimpleLogin: Since they're the same entity, using an aliasing service requires no additional trust.
They do but it's a limited kind of alias. You can't set up reverse-aliases (you send first) for example which the regular SimpleLogin can.
The first being you can lift and shift to another email provider very easily.
All alias providers I have seen (including SimpleLogin) allow arbitrary target/"backing" mailboxes.
just get a domain with alias provider and it matters not what email provider you use ever.
Personal domains are nice for "important stuff" that should be tied to your real person.
One of the features of mail aliasing services is it to provide pseudonymity which you cannot achieve if the domain literally contains your real name.
This is very dangerous thinking. No software is perfect; there are always ways to get in.
Now, in practice most people aren't victims of targetted attacks and even devices with dozens of known local privilege escalation and remote code execution exploits won't ever be attacked but those who will cannot rely on "x is basically impossible to compromise". It takes layers and maintenance to actually be somewhat secure.
