Best practice app install for the most privacy and secrurity?

It's up to you. All apps are sandboxed, so they're all fairly safe if you don't give them too many permissions. I use web apps when I am dealing with something really evil, like Facebook. Other people use web apps for everything.

Depending on their setup installed apps might also use IPC (interprocess communications) amongst other installed apps although they are sandboxed.

I prefer Vanadium with incognito mode to login instead of having to keep in mind to force stop an app I do not fully trust. Rebooting reactives forced stopped apps. Or even just Vanadium without incognito / PWA web appand just clear cookies and cache when needed.

unwat If you do not mind me asking, do you use the sandboxed play store or aurora for apps that are not on github or foss?

Choose apps that have 0 trackers, while permissions / sandbox are good practices an app with 0 tracking will not call home.
I was recently cut from Twitch Mod discord (use Aliucord by the way), now PurpleTV because I exposed all trackers within that APP... sentry, amazon ads, score card research etc... so under the premise to give you an APP without ads you are paying with your data... which is not much different from Twitch official APP itself... (use Twire).

I use Google Play when I can and use Aurora as a backup, mostly for profiles where I don't have a Google account logged in.

i heard in the hated one podcast that apps are more secrure than web apps, becouse its impossible to end to end encript in a web app, when i get it correctly. There was a debate about proton mail adwertising.

But IPC is a verry good point and i will test how usebil it is to have few users, when i correct that iliminates the abiillite to use ipc to other apps in other user profiles.

How common is ipc in foss apps?
