Hey Jason, good question!
Exposing your nsec with various Nostr clients might expose your keys to a risk of doxxing it and you need to trust all of them.
Alby is an open-source app (so you can see what happens with the keys) that runs in your browser, signs nostr events offline and then uses Nostr with your nsec without ever sending the key through the web.
