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!

Open source OS everywhere, as many foss apps as possible, no google services, no social media, texting through Signal and Matrix, Librewolf configured to throw away all cookies (exept whitelisted sites).

Interesting! Is librewolf a personal choice or is there a particular reason? Also if I may ask are you on Linux?

Librewolf is a good alternative to hardened Firefox as it comes with sane defaults, removes - instead of disabling - Mozilla crap and doesn't require maintenance.

Although, I personally think trying to achieve privacy by using a less secure engine like Gecko is counter productive and futile.
