- ThePhysicist 6y ago- Don't use social media apps or non-essential apps in general. They usually track you much more thoroughly than any website. - Use a privacy-friendly browser without an agenda, e.g. Firefox or Brave. - Use trustworthy extensions to block as many trackers as possible. uBlock origin and Privacy Badger for example. Beware of extensions with commercial entities behind them, like Ghostery or Web of Trust, they actually also collect your data in various ways.
- andrei_says_ 6y agoI find that a dns service like NextDNS is a good low-effort additional layer helping with ad trackers.
