The whole idea of privacy on the web has started to bother me recently. I know it always should have, but I ignored it as I felt the drawbacks of online advertising and tracking were more than covered by the benefits of free access to web services that would otherwise cost money.
It might be boredom, but in the past few months I have:
Ditched Chrome in favour of Firefox. Firefox is a really good browser, so this wasn't a major headache at all. In fact I prefer it over Chrome.
Finally made use of that Raspberry-Pi and set up a Pi-Hole.
Set up containers for Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft in Firefox.
Moved to DuckDuckGo for the majority of my searches.
Use DecentralEyes extension so web resources such as fonts and web libraries are delivered locally.
Moved from Gmail and Google services to a small business account in Office365. Yes, I know it's Microsoft, and I'll be downvoted to oblivion by the regulars, but in this instance Microsoft just aren't as evil as Google. I consider 9 euro a month good value for what they offer.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
