I'm using the Brave browser, and that has an optional Tor window.

What I'm really looking forward to is the Huawei mobile with an open source OS and privacy browser. Trump seems to be pushing for the creation of this, and it will free me from Google control.

Android OS already completely open-source & there are even some privacy-focused Android distribution (such as LineageOS, Replicant and Copperhead).
You should have acceptable privacy if you don't install any Google application (Gapps) or any closed-source application.

The downside it's not user-friendly like Brave since you might need to root or/and unlock bootloader before install the OS.

IP may leak via browser's RTCPeerConnection known as WebRTC (or various adds-on installed) even if you use VPN services. Land on ipleak to check whether your browser suffers from that form of IP leakage and, if it does, learn there how to stop it.

A good VPN service should have a firewall option that disables your connection if you are not connected to the servers of that VPN. In that way you are preventing IP leaks.
Whenever you get disconnected from the VPN server the firewall kicks in and prevents you from accessing the Internet until you re-establish connection to the VPN server or turn off the VPN altogether.

I recommend to everyone that before going to any web site, the URL is well-researched. In VPN, my Nord VPN is more like it. However, I did not use ad-blocker before. For a while, I started to use it

well visiting website also matter like there are websites that are not secured like the HTTP link for HTTPS is one considered as website.verified and has the SSL certificate.

Yes, I agree also to the browser which being mention. Actually it will automatically block you in proceeding a website that is not secured or could be a phishing site. This is a goos thing about good browsers which OP has stated.

Nowadays, there is no such thing as confidentiality. Our computer and our phone collects absolutely all the information about us and you can’t fight it.

Of course you can fight it. Read the topic for a few tips.

Stop using Google and it's products for example is a great step.

I don't know why you said we should avoid google chrome but it has an inbuild adblock. you just need to upgrade your chrome to enjoy this feature. i get no popups using google chrome

The idea to avoid Google chrome is to protect your personal data.

Google is collecting everything you do online and selling to companies.

Google and chrome are free to use , because you are the product.

There is another thread for this in this section and was being stated over the add on for the browser to get rid from phishing activities. Yes, indeed it is good to be secure especially in accessing web wallets where it could lead one to a phishing site and disclose all important details to access your accounts and transfers all the crypto in your web wallet.

Thank you for mentioning the Brave browser. I'm using this as a content producer as well as for privacy and safety. It includes a Tor + Duckduckgo window as well.

You can support the Fit to Talk project by donating the Basic Attention Token that you receive just for browsing. It's a great way to help sites you like at no cost to you.

In my opinion BAT/brave is one of most promising projects in the cryptocurrency market.

Online publicity is problematic now. Highly centralized on Google/Facebook, and the costs of this publicity is on the internet service provider (a significant amount of the total bandwidth is used by Google/Facebook ads). In Brazil for example you pay to the isp for your bandwidth usage.

Adblocks are not as widespread as they should be, and browsers with native adblocks are an elegant solution.

Bat token solves this 2 problems, blocking centralized ads reducing bandwidth costs.

Unfortunately brave browser is not as good as Firefox, and nobody knows if bat is overpriced or not...

Another thing to add would be to avoid using all these centralized payment processors and also centralized online wallet providers. They require you to divulge a lot of personal information that links you to your Bitcoin and they also report to their respective governments.

The KYC/AML requirements is just another way for them to infringe on your financial privacy. If you have to use them, make sure you deposit the bitcoins to those services, via some reputable mixer service. Roll Eyes

It's recommended to use Android Open Source Project (AOSP) ROMs to be sure there are no spyware on your phone, good ROM's are:

Since AOSP comes without Google Apps by default, it means it has no Play store. https://f-droid.org is a great alternative as an app store for fully open source software. It includes applications such as
Shelter to isolate untrusted apps from your personal data
Firefox Klar for privacy browsing
K-9 mail client
Linphone for SIP communications
OpenVPN client
Revolution IRC client
ownCloud,Nextcloud clients
NewPipe a YouTube client
Yalp store, Aurora store for downloading apps from Play Store without Google account
MaterialFBook for accessing Facebook without its official app, Tinfoil for Twitter
Telegram FOSS build,
Silence for encrypted SMS chats
Delta Chat for encrypted secure instant messaging over email (has a Telegram-like interface and group chats)
orBot as a Tor client ( thanks to https://guardianproject.info )
among a big variety of other privacy-oriented apps.

Open GApps is a fully open source Google Apps alternative.

Updating:

If you use Ledger nano, you do not need to use Google Chrome anymore. That´s good for privacy.
You can download Ledger Live

You can use it with Electrum too.

Does it really help if I use incognito mode in my browser?

First off, not one of the private modes provided through the major browsers can defend your online records from being viewed by internet service companies or authorities businesses, block third-party agencies from monitoring your interest or figuring out your geographical place, nor save you viruses and malware from infecting your laptop. rather, the modes are designed to genuinely prevent cookies and autofill information from being stored at the user’s local device.

And secondly, while those barriers are not actually newsworthy in and of themselves – they have been reported a couple of times in current years – how poorly the browser companies’ keeps your personal identity.

Privacy on internet is absolutely not possible. Google alone account for almost all the features that make surfing enjoyable and trying to avoid google products not only seems locking yourself up but missing the essential things on the web.

I was having a chat about security and phishing sites some other day.

An AdBlock is also an important method to avoid phishing sites. So you really should be using one, as it will increase your security.
Many phishing sites promote their scams through paid ads. If you can't see them, you can't click them.

Updated the OP with this information, which can be quite valuable.
