We know they're watching--the government, the corporations, the international spies, and the advertisers. What privacy tools do you recommend?
A few to get the ball rolling.
- Signal
- Proton Mail
- Camera covers for laptops, phones, etc.

I use Firefox with 3 adblockers(AdBlockPlus/AdBlocker ultimate/uBlock Ultimate) and noScript.
Most sites that detect adblockers won't detect all 3 so you just leave on the ones that isn't an issue and you learn to recognize the naming of servers & scripts that provide necessary content and which servers are nothing but tracking/advertising and nefarious crap, the naming tends to be fairly consistent for example servers that have 'CDN' in the name are usually content delivery servers.
Makes browsing very serene(ZERO advertising on reddit is one example...) and all in all it makes tracking me somewhat more... difficult....
The 'Epic Privacy Browser' has canned/built in VPN's sorted by geo-location and is another quick and easy way of ensuring a measure of privacy, especially since these VPN's are built into a free browser so there is no payment/CreditCard record connecting you to a paid VPN service...
Great recs. Thanks for taking the time. I've got a few of these in use myself but will have to look into others!
