So recently I’ve gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done, but I’m wondering if I’m missing anything important:

  • Moved from Brave to Firefox
  • Bought my own domain for my email (so I can switch email providers at any time)
  • Switched to Duck Duck Go from google (It’s gotten worse anyways)
  • Bought the Proton package (VPN, Encrypted email, etc…)
  • Installed Thunderbird (instead of microsoft mail app)
  • Installed uBlock Origin
  • Installed Bitwarden for password managing (My passwords are also no longer all the same)

Is there anything that I have missed that should be a priority for internet security?

    Use the noscript addon. It protects your data by blocking all javascripts. Sadly it makes a hassle of going on a site but you will suprised how many javascripts are only there for tracking.

    Also, I use ecosia as a search engine which is non profit. all profits go to the enviroment. Using !g before the prompt and it uses google and since i use privacy badger, ublock and noscript i dont think they track too much.

        Eventually you will notice a patern of which ones are needed for basic function (the domain your on, wp.com, squarespace and sometimes google.com) i just switch them to trusted or if they can track temp trusted.

        Sometime im also lazy and turn most to temp trusted but if i have time i work out the important ones.
