I really want to buy a Steam Deck but even with this sale, I can’t justify the purchase to myself. I still use my PS Vita as there are a lot of games on there that I haven’t played yet (Vita, PSP, some PS1 and ports) and I still have a working PS3 with games I’ve yet to play! Once the PS3 no longer functions, Steam Deck will be bought!
I have the same issue. My workplace uses Google to store their documents which need to be accessed on a daily basis. I use Firefox for my personal web browsing and Brave for Google or work related stuff. Isolating Google/work stuff from my personal browsing has been working for me. I also use Thunderbird if I only need to open or send an email via Google. Brave has ad and telemetry blocking options and you can (for now) still use Ublock origin.
