I want to start getting better with my online privacy. How should I do it?
I already use Firefox with ublock origin and badger. I have a Plex server being hosted and I have a network VPN set up that I set up. What else should I do?
Mainly opsec. Check out anonymousplanet, bunch of good information there. You should also checkout Extreme Privacy by Michael Bazzell; it mainly focuses on IRL privacy, but it does talk about online privacy.
The main ones for me were looking at big tech companies, and getting away from it. Getting away from Facebook, Twitter. WhatsApp -> Signal + Text message. Finding an alternative email provider (proton mail, but not fully migrated). I got myself a Pixel 6a and installed GrapheneOS on it as I wasn't comfortable on Android any more.
It is a process, and takes time. It's about understanding the risks, and what you care about, and taking steps to migrate.
