Browsers: Brave and Chromium, both with uBlock Origin for ads. I also have a Raspberry Pi running Pi-Hole, thought I haven't set it up for DNS over TLS or HTTPS. Password managers, Bitwarden. Before, I used to use the same long password but slightly altered for each account. e.g. *foobarGGL* for Gmail, *foobarRDT* for Reddit, etc. Slightly better than reusing the exact same password, but honestly, just get a decent password manager. VPN: I'm finding ProtonVPN's free tier as perfectly fine for mostly text-based social media. For downloads and torrenting, Ultraseedbox has been treating me well. Search engines, DuckDuckGo and StartPage. If I need to use Google or Google Images I usually pop open an Incognito tab, just out of spite. VM: I'm not sure to what extent data and profiles might "leak" across different browser accounts, whether nefariously or by my own fat fingered accidents, so I've been running a VM for a while for all my "politically inappropriate" reading and posting. Between having my different login accounts on different browsers on different OSes on different IP addresses (VPN with Killswitch), I reckon it should buy me at least a *little* peace of mind that I'm not going to get doxxed and painted as some puppy kicking, orphanage burning monster, all because I had the sheer audacity to click on a link to some random "subversive" Op-Ed article.
