"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. For example, with Zen Browser (which is based on Firefox), you can get a boost in privacy by switching from the default Standard tracking protection to Strict or Custom. Keep in mind that by doing so, you might find some sites don't work properly. To resolve that issue, you might have to set an exception for a particular site. You should also consider adding an extension such as uBlock Origin."
Privacy now requires active effort and protection across devices and the entire LAN. Begin by hardening the browser, choosing privacy-focused browsers such as Brave, DuckDuckGo, or Tor, and enabling stricter tracking protections. Use browser extensions like uBlock Origin and NoScript to block ads and scripts. Recognize that stricter settings may break some sites and create site-specific exceptions as needed. Expand protections from the desktop outward to devices and the network so that both endpoints and the LAN contribute to a higher baseline of privacy using available free options.
