For example, use a password manager, use 2FA.

    Password manager, 2FA where available (these for security more than privacy). Firefox with ublock, noscript and privacy badger for browsing. PiHole for DNS using standard block lists to remove adverts and trackers.

    Just a password manager. Not necessarily for security, but mostly for practical reasons.

    Also using Linux, but that’s not the main reason.

      Security is related. With a password manager you don’t have to worry about credentials from one site being used on another.

        No. It’s not. Your privacy is not enhanced nor degraded in any way depending on how you secure your existing tracking profile, I mean account information. 🙄

    I give a fake phone number to companies who ask for one. I also often sign up with temporary emails when possible.

      Honestly unless it’s legit like a passport application, any form i fill out gets bogus PII, they don’t need to know anything about me.
