I flush my cookies on browser restart (though Firefox has a few quirks for that). I use browser extensions: mainly RequestPolicy in whitelist-only mode (I also use NoScript, but more to block websites that are too CPU-intensive than for privacy reasons, and AdBlock Plus). I VPN all my traffic through one of my servers. Not for real anonymity (my name is in the whois..), but more because I routinely use public/semi-private wifi networks and I don't really trust them not to snoop. Deciding when the network is secure and when it's not is too much work, so I always leave the VPN on. I also avoid putting my data in any sort of cloud, except for backup with serious encryption (I'm still undecided between Cyphertite and Tarsnap). The fun thing is that, apart from RequestPolicy, I don't even realize I have all these things in place, and I certainly don't feel I'm a privacy nut. It just seems more practical (and some were fun to setup).
