Support Firefox. The last independent browser resisting Google. I don't need to list all the things that Google are doing to undermine the web and adblocking. Safari is also fine in my book, but it's obviously proprietary and you may not trust Apple. Enable strict HTTPS and use an adblocker. Encrypted cloud storage is fine but it's simply not convenient and sadly lacks good usability. If you don't trust your ISP, use a VPN. Ideally a VPN you have full control over. Social media needs and deserves to be handled separately from the rest of your life. Firefox Containers are one way for handling this. Or use Qubes if you deeply worry about advanced attacks. Finally, use a different e-mail for each site you register for. This can be transparently automated using Firefox Relay or Apple's Hide My Email. Of course, everything above are what I consider lightweight protections. There are heavier measures. Whatever you do, it's important to be clear about _who_ you want to keep your data private from. Because that entity may have more than way to gain access to your data. There is no such thing as absolute privacy in the virtual or physical world.
