There is actually alot you can do to lock many things down.Nothing is private be it the dark web, Tor, etc. People need to realize every keystroke has and will be saved and there is no protection available to normal folks including VPNs. People clicked agreements to be on the internet at every turn when they first started the worldwide web created to lure all in and be indispensable. We are the generation where that data was saved to tell all about us who never thought it could come back to haunt them. When they start to crack down further which they will via said info generation next will at least know every thought and interest online is known. We did not have that luxury and some will be used as examples. If you research something it will be spun as if you are into that, etc. Your personal life will be held over you as well. Adhere or we will share all. The goal has always been complete thought control and eventual training of minds and manipulation and they now know you inside and out, push your buttons, push your info to algorithms designed personally to enslave you or direct you to desired paths.
Idk if you can be 100% private but there's a big difference between using Tor and DuckDucxGo compared to using Chrome and Google search engine.
You can start by only visiting encrytped pages, such as anything with an s after the http. Theres an add on that only allows this, forcing the secure version of the page to load. Other useful add ons like Uorigin and especially NoScript can break alot of websites until you learn how they work, but they can lock nearly everything down. Its crazy how some links on these forums i have to allow 10 pages if i want them to load. VC usually has 4-6 scripts that i don't allow. Atm is doubleclick dot net (advertiser), google dot com, googletagmanager and gstatic. Like google, Facebook is usually everywhere too but it is easily blocked.
Another good add on is CookieAutoDelete. This automatically deletes cookies when you leave a website while most people carry 100's of cookies sharing data with every site they visit.
You can check your browser settings. Atm I"m using firefox and i turn off tracking (this does break twitter links embedding). You can disable cryptominers and fingerprinters in settings as well. While these will give you better privacy they can break websites. I suggest everyone disable all 3rd party cookies, as 99% are compeletely useless anyway.
Theres another way you can go here, if they want your data, let them have it. Theres an add on that clicks on every single ad confusing the algorithms. Some people set up "public" browsers and search for things they want the powers that shouldn't be to see, further muddying the waters.
Tor itself includes a vpn and automatically locks alot down, but if you chose the wrong ad on's (like an adblocker) you can still be tracked so its not full proof. Nothing is really, but this doesn't mean to leave caution to the wind. You can actually be pretty safe if you get a degoogled cellphone and only use it to browse. Its possible to remove the sim card and use wifi to pretty much completely anonamize yourself. Brax just made a video on this, I'll link it if any are interested.
Using Phones with No-SIM Cards and Other Privacy Experiments
We will test out various technologies that allow us to communicate on the phone without using a SIM card -- in other words, no cell service. We will also check out other solutions like VoIP.
