What is everyones' opinion on whether to connect to a remote node or download the blockchain for the monero wallet gui? How necessary is it opsec-wise to download the blockchain? Would prefer to not do so if it only adds negligible protection

Download full chain
I just downloaded full chain to tails again, took 5 days but well worth it
You're gunna be fine downloading from a remote node but for maximum security do the full chain, it really doesn't take that much longer to dl.
