4/ leave devices at home (airplane mode is not enough) and double check apps with location permissions in your phone settings; 5/ choose a private search engine, like DuckDuckGo, on an incognito browser - change to a more protective browser like DuckDuckGo or Tor; don’t log into browsers;
6/ add privacy extensions, like Privacy Badger or uEngine, to minimize online tracking; 7/ use VPNs with “no log” policies, meaning they won’t track your activity themselves, like ExpressVPN and ProtonVPN; 8/be aware of your surroundings; stay informed; store login info in writing, not on a device

It would be best to adopt sock puppet accounts into your everyday life for social media so there is no connection via name/username/dob/email/IP/etc
Yes! Adding noise makes it more difficult to pinpoint. Great for those who need the extra protection. Advanced mode tip ✅
And never give accurate personal data out where it doesn’t need to be, DOB, etc
Good one! Agreed 👍
Yes to DDG. They don’t track your browsing and have good Privacy Pro options like a VPN that doesn’t store history.
Also the Proton suite (mail, cal, drive) is very nice and all encrypted.
