Now it is so important to take steps to protect our internet activity. I use a VPN but more important I use an old Dell laptop (cheap to get an old business model for under $200) and use a Linux OS called Robolinux. The guy who made the OS can make a special code just for that computer so it will spoof the MAC ID and Wifi PCI ID. This is important because just having a VPN is not enough when they can still track the MAC ID for the computer. I then use Brave browser in private mode. You do have to pay to get the "Robo Untracker" but I definitely think its worth it. The customer support is also excellent and definitely a like-minded person. https://robolinux.org/downloads/v11.02-details.html
