It's relatively straightforward: where possible, stop using products and services that don't respect your privacy and instead use ones that do. Where you can, reduce their ability to compromise your privacy with ad-blockers, custom DNS or by disabling JavaScript.
Windows has telemetry? Use Linux. Firefox has tracking? Use IceWeasel. Every website wants to track you? Disable Javascript. Google tracks your every move? Stop using Google products.
Yes, in many cases this will lead to some degree of inconvenience or perhaps a service that meets a particular need doesn't exist. That's the price you have to pay in modern times but it is a price you're able to pay, if you value privacy sufficiently.
- silicon2401 7y agoWhat are the privacy costs to using FF? Also, what's a good alternative to Google docs/etc? Should I VPN into a home machine using open/libre office?
- throwaway9d0291 7y agoI don't know, I was just taking the poster's claims at face value. There are self-hosted alternatives to Google Docs, like OwnCloud with Etherpad.
