I take privacy pretty seriously and to protect my privacy I do the following: * Use GrapheneOS on my smartphone with nearly no third-party apps * Use a VPN, because I don't trust my ISP * Use NoScript & uBlock * Use several ProtonMail addresses I change on a regular basis and use one-way trash mails. I also try to be on as few services as possible. If an email is leaked (didn't happened yet) delete it and create a new one. * Use Qubes + Whonix with FDE on a seperate laptop for things, which should stay private. I classify every other data from other devices as public. * Regulary check my home network traffic on my firewall. Especially when I do nothing on my devices or got a new device. * Destroy every camera and microphone in devices which can only be bought "smart" like every new TV. * Be aware that if I use an online service my data gets collected and act like someone is looking over my shoulder. Its not so bad, if you are aware of that. * Glueing my finger domes on a regular basis * Scan my house regulary for new WIFI and bluetooth devices in range
