10 Quick Tips to become Invisible

1. Avoid VPNs that don’t accept cryptocurrency, but remember they see your home IP. So it's not anonymous without Tor or it's alternatives

2. Avoid Big Tech, but if you have to, then use the LibRedirect browser extension and/or Farside.link service to use Tor or LibreWolf without JavaScript

3. If a website blocks you, try Vanilla Firefox with your VPN set to Port 443 TCP. Modify Firefox to reduce telemetry by setting "block dangerous and deceptive content" and "provide search suggestions" both to off

4. Linux isn’t as hard as you think. You don't need the command line.

5. Keep passwords in offline storage, such as KeePass. Then keep that in VeraCrypt

6. Wear a Bitcoin logo shirt at local public events, then get the info of people who approach you, so you can buy/sell for in-person cash

7. Avoid SMS, but if you have to, then use VoIP and never the number of the SIM card you get service from, to hide your physical location

8. Avoid email, but if you have to, then go for open source software you control.

It's not as hard as people make it out to be.

9. If a friend refuses to use privacy tech (such as Signal/Session), instead of cursing them out, increase the value your friendship offers, to make it worth it to install a new app

10. Be aware that Cloudflare sees ALL content on their network, including passwords.

Check DNS record tools (such as bgp.tools) or Ombrello to see if the site uses them:

ombrelo.im5wixghmfmt7gf7wb4xrgdm6byx2gj26zn47da6nwo7xvybgxnqryid.onion

Consider sharing this so freedom doesn't die

All this, plus I'll do a shoutout to archive.org.

If a website rejects your browser for being too hard to track, go to the address bar and add https://web.archive.org/web/ before the URL of the website you wanted.

As in, https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.aljazeera.com

This will fetch the content from the latest Internet Archive snapshot. Gets you the content you wanted despite website's insincere concern-trolling and even paywalls (sometimes, anyway).
