> (1) Does anyone have a privacy-respecting alternative to Privacy.com's virtual credit cards?

Capital One offers virtual cards through Eno (https://www.capitalone.com/digital/eno/virtual-card-numbers/) that are merchant locked. They make it somewhat cumbersome to use, but I've really enjoyed using them.

It doesn't block wall street knowing about what you're buying, but at least it's likely got one (or more) fewer middlemen looking at all your transactions.

Once I saved Capital One card in Google Chrome, Payment Methods in Chrome Settings offers a radio button Virtual Card On/Off. If switched on, Chrome directly generates a virtual card, removing the need of Eno extension.

I can confirm this works pretty well. The Capital One mobile app will also give you a single virtual card number (without the merchant lock or any other extra features) if you don’t want the browser extension or just need it once.

Citi also offers unlimited virtual card numbers for credit cards, and it is a bit easier than Eno since you can manage directly from the website without needing to install anything.

Capital One lets you manage them on their website as well. They just really seem to be pushing their extension and Chrome integration, which I both don't care too much about, but the functionality is there (albeit well-hidden).

You can also just create new virtual numbers yourself in their online banking. The option is a bit hidden (in "digital wallets").
