Good lesson in upgrading your privacy stack. Some basic tools:

Orbot, Mullvad VPN, or IVPN on your devices

NextDNS

starpage.com instead of Google search

Tor, Ungoogled Chromium, or Brave for browers.

Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin, and Facebook Container plugins for your browsers

SimpleX or Signal for your comms

Simple Login for proxy emails

I definitely gotta look into these!!! Thanks 🙏

Yeah every option has trade offs.

I find that Brave Search and Startpage work just fine with Tor browser and Orbot, for what it is worth.

Never heard of starpage. So I clicked on it and I am being told "Content blocked. Please turn of ad blocker." I take that to mean that I am doing it right. 😄

Huh, strange. I can access Startpage regardless of my ad blockers or of I am on Tor. But yes, you are probably doing something right ✌
