thanks for the hint, are there any alternatives that are more privacy focused?

nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g what wallets do you recommend that respect user's privacy?

Not being a Cake user myself, I wasn’t aware they were working on a Breez SDK feature. Seth’s not as active on Nostr as the other place, but as the ops lead at Cake I imagine he’d have a lot of insights into this topic. I’ve seen him post some positive things about Spark, including in this article he published a few days ago.

The ideal situation also requires some work -- your own node, or Alby Hub, hooked up to Zeus or Alby Go. That's completely self-custodial and awesome.

If you're not going to do it that way, and want something easier, then we get into the territory of "harm reduction" -- and it's most critical here not to allow your funds to be seen by the known bad actors in the space, who share your transaction data with LightSpark (and, basically, Mossad, or any government who cares to ask Lightspark for it)....

My understanding is that the known bad actors in the space are:

Breez

LightSpark

Wallet Of Satoshi

Cake Wallet

Blitz Wallet

But there might be others. The main thing is to be sure that whatever wallet you uses does NOT use Breez or Spark as a back-end. If it does assume you're being tracked.
