What is your daily privacy setup?
As per title, how do y'all protect your privacy? ... do not disclose your personal data tho haha
For example: besides a VPN i started using Matrix for messaging and Keybase for encrypted storage instead of telegram and google drive, and I self host most of the hosting I need including my own mail server and nextcloud appliance.
I am curious, show me how you hide!

I am on my browser a lot. I use VPN most of the time. Am blocking ads system-wide with DNS on all my devices.
I have like only 30-40 sites that I allow to save cookies. Any site that won't work without cookies is opened in a guest/temp profile, if I use such a site frequently it makes to the allowlist. Same allowlist principle is applied to the number of apps I install. If the service works well on the browser am not installing it.
I also use Jshelter and NoScript to allowlist Javascript, WebGL (farbled with Jshelter) and other browser properties. My browsers are mostly on a Javascript allowlist for my PC and on a denylist for my phone because I don't use it as much as my PC and am fine with the hardened levels on Cromite.
I self-host most of the services I constantly use (those that I can) and use community alternatives whenever I can just to avoid giving data/analytics to FAANG. That said I sometimes cheat with Twitter & Instagram (haven't opened this in forever) all on PWAs with a separate browser (Mulch).
It's a bit overkill but am safisfied with the level of control.
That browser setup is inspiring. Reminds me of a TOR Browser on steroids + VPN. May I ask you which VPN you prefer using?
The free version of ProtonVPN is sufficient enough for my use.
