The receipt im using is firefox with the extras privacy badger, ublock origin and cookie autodelete with a couple of sites like diyaudio 🙂 in white list. Only gmail (no point in hide gmail from google) and translate in chrome.It works great for me!
 
The best service he gave me was to close my FB account after several attempts to know more about me and they even had made updates into my profile, inventing a profession and a place of residency.
They did not believe I lived in Hell Norway and my hobby was brain surgery.


Not ever subscribing to those social "apps" makes me feel FREE, like a fresh breeze on the ocean shoreline....refusing to get sucked into those sites gives me more piece of mind.
I like, and am entitled to my privacy, and I realize the internet makes things difficult, if not impossible in some cases.
 
simple things first ,if your browser choice allows it, prevent 3rdparty tracking etc. I like Firefox.

A dozen or so really obvious FB and sim domains I block at my router.

For my home (a couple of Mac laptops), I've a thousand+ lines or so pasted into the HOSTs file that bins - at the time I found the listing - all the FB domains used by their tracking and related general nonsense to 127.0.0.0. I've more in there to deal with other comparable parasitic social media / leeching annoyances.

I expect one could do similar and more with a 'pi-hole' [ Pi-hole – Network-wide protection ] on your router acting as DNS server/filter, but I don't need such complication.


Ps - just checked, after not thinking about it for a couple of years -FB cookies found: zero. it works.
