So recently I’ve gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done, but I’m wondering if I’m missing anything important:
- Moved from Brave to Firefox
- Bought my own domain for my email (so I can switch email providers at any time)
- Switched to Duck Duck Go from google (It’s gotten worse anyways)
- Bought the Proton package (VPN, Encrypted email, etc…)
- Installed Thunderbird (instead of microsoft mail app)
- Installed uBlock Origin
- Installed Bitwarden for password managing (My passwords are also no longer all the same)
Is there anything that I have missed that should be a priority for internet security?
what OS are you on?

Haha, that’s a good point. I can’t change to linux for work reasons, but I should look into dual boot.
It would be a good idea to explore Linux if you care about all the telemetry Windows collects. There are distros out there that are so user friendly that someone using Windows their entire life can hit the ground running, like Linux Mint.
