"We live in a time where privacy is something we actually have to work to enjoy. Achieving a level of privacy we once had takes work, and you need to start thinking beyond a single desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone -- all the way to your LAN. Before I scare you all off, understand that this starts on the desktop and extends to the LAN. By beefing up both your devices and your network, you'll achieve a level of privacy that you wouldn't otherwise have."
"The first thing you should do is consider using a browser that better protects your privacy, such as Brave, DuckDuckGo, or Tor. If you continue using a web browser that doesn't offer better privacy, no matter what you do on your network, you'll still be vulnerable. Once you're using a privacy-focused browser, make sure the privacy settings are enabled. For example, with Zen Browser (which is based on Firefox), you can improve privacy by switching from the default Standard tracking protection to Strict or Custom."
Privacy requires deliberate work across devices and the local network. Start by hardening the browser: choose privacy-focused browsers (Brave, DuckDuckGo, Tor), enable stricter tracking protection, and add extensions like uBlock Origin and NoScript. Use more secure, strongly encrypted apps for messaging and other communications whenever possible. Think beyond a single machine and protect the LAN with network-level privacy measures. Some privacy improvements may break site functionality, so use site exceptions as needed. Many effective privacy tools and approaches are available for free and deliver meaningful protection when combined across devices and network infrastructure.
