You are mistaken counselor (c) The Descendants. These three easy things improve your privacy by 10x:
- Incognito / Private browsing by default. Clears cookies used by trackers and platforms. Staying logged in is bad. Login, do your thing and close the tab. No Chrome, it has its own Id.
- VPN. Hides your browsing history from ISP and your IP address from trackers and platforms. Smartphone too, and disable Location and Background app refresh for most apps.
- Adblocker (uBlock Origin / AdGuard for Safari, iOS too). Prevents trackers and malware from executing.
- koheripbal 6y agoAvoidance of social media should be in this list.
- nuker 6y agoNo, it is too harsh. These rules will work for most people. In social media, never share your address book and don't give your phone number, which is very powerful identifier. Unique email is good too.
