Install and use a VPN that isn’t based in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United kingdom, United States, Denmark, France, Netherlands, Norway, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Sweden, or Spain (ExpressVPN and NordVPN are examples)(And only use a server in one of those countries if you have to to access something)
Install and use a tracker blocker (Ghostery, Disconnect, uBlock, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, etc)
Use Protonmail (at least sometimes, it’s kinda pointless if you contact people who use Gmail with it)
Use a secure note taking app
Use Firefox (only Chromium based browsers when needed)
Use DuckDuckGo
Use non-Android/iOS phones (if you can, I’m on an Android right now)
Make your social media visibility as strict as it can be on sites like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, etc
Research this stuff and so what is best for what your risks are (for example, if you’re not a reporter in a hostile environment or such, complete anonymity probably isn’t that important. It’s not attainable anyway, but you don’t have to max it out)

Hmm glasswire on desktop really shows how much nonsense Windows runs in the background
But look, I’ll die before I ever even seriously consider using Apple products. If I switch from my Android/Windows shit it’ll be to Linux distributions and KaiOS or something.
