Do we need a webbrowser base proxy for WhatsApp to Signal (and other chat platforms)?

Run it on webbrowser at home / cloud instance and proxy msgs but drop all FB trackings?

Any pro/con to this approach?

If you are ready to put in a separate instance to handle WhatsApp, then a separate mobile with Tasker to forward the WhatsApp message to email or other client is the easiest thing to do.

If not separate hardware, Android VM or Anbox would theoretically work but would be of more hassle considering WhatsApp actively detects 3rd party ROMS and android VMs/Anbox are not generally stable.
