There is no way you can delete your information from all of them [period].
My personal recommendations to lessen data-associations:
1) Actually use cash
2) Shop at places which don't require membership (e.g. for discounts)
3) Buy a domain name which allows you to `catch-all@your.domain` and then give each requestor a unique-to-them "email address" e.g. WalMart @ JoeSmith2222333.com
4) Don't carry your cell phone with you everywhere; Don't sleep with your phone
5) Remove/unplug/disable voice assistants
6) Run LLMs/ChatGPT on local instances
7) Have your DHCP auto-issue an IP to your own local DNS server (e.g: PiHole)
- accrual 3y agouBlock + NoScript would also be good additions for desktop browsers. I'm impressed I can browse most of the web fine without scripts, or at most, with scripts hosted from the same domain. May also try switching to Fastmail this year.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agouBlock is definitely an easier implementation for most users. But running Pi-Hole [1] on a RaspberryPi3b [2] is "training wheels EZ," effectively a single SD format with minimal initial configuration (assign IP, credentials), that can then run entirely headless (until the SD card fails... use the best memory you can afford). Perks of local DNS-resolver include it working across all devices accessing the local network, including outside of the browser. It is ASTONISHING how many connections modern OS'es attempt, by the millesecond. [1] Pi-hole.net [2] raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b-plus/ [3] [3] ...or better. Runs just-fine on this one!

- steelframe 3y ago4) Don't carry your cell phone with you everywhere; Don't sleep with your phone There are benefits to doing this that are beyond just privacy.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoI have carried my cell phone outside of my house a total of three times the past two years (mostly for parental death, out of town). When people ask "how do people reach you" my typical response is "a select few people know where I live or have my landline [full-stop]." Being unreachable is a lifestyle, not a part of most's journey.
