"Your privacy begins on your browser, because that's the app you use the most (and is also most vulnerable to privacy threats). The first thing you should do is consider using a browser that can better protect you from privacy intrusions, 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."
"Instead of thinking about a single machine, think LAN. These options are all free to use. 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."
Enhanced privacy requires proactive measures across individual devices and the local network (LAN). Privacy protection should start with a privacy-focused browser such as Brave, DuckDuckGo, or Tor, and by enabling stricter tracking protections and extensions like uBlock Origin and NoScript. Use secure, encrypted apps where possible and favor hardened configurations. Harden both endpoints and the LAN to reduce cross-device tracking and exposure. Expect occasional site breakage and set site exceptions when necessary. Most recommended tools and techniques are available for free. Thinking in LAN terms yields stronger, more consistent privacy across all devices.
