At this point it not about passive collection, corporations are going to extreme ends to get our data.

I am interested in what people are doing to enforce their privacy while using the web.

I have some things in place, looking to compare with the community.

(btw, I am new here, this is my first post. So uh… Hi )

For Android:

Use ADB (or similar tools) to remove Facebook, Meta, Twatter, Instagram, etc., from all your Android devices.
Use a tool like RethinkDNS or other firewall to block block block. If using RethinkDNS, apply good blockers too.
If using a firewall that uses your VPN slot, setup wireguard to use your VPN host
Have different browsers on your device e.g. Brave, IronFox, Cromite. Follow online guides to set up.
Use DuckDuckGo, SearXNG or Mullvadleta to search
Never access Facebook, Insta, Twitter etc. from your mobile device. In fact, if you have the right firewall / blocking set up, you simply cannot.
Do as much online shopping from a laptop / PC with a secure browser. Also, have about 3 different browsers there too.
If you MUST use Facebook etc., only do it from a browser on your laptop / PC.

Just my personal strategy. My firewall logs show its quite effective but not fully impervious.

Checking out RethinkDNS right now, this looks great! Thanks. Was tracking most of the other stuff, that stuff holds true on computers as well, but on mobile I was kinda drawing a blank.
