Browse Privately—but Don’t Go Incognito
There’s oodles of device data—including location!—that can be sussed out while you’re browsing the web, which is why it’s a perfect time to move to a privacy-preserving browser. And you have plenty to pick from.
The Tor browser is the gold standard in that regard, since it both strips your web history of any identifying intel and bounces your traffic across different nodes across the globe, obfuscating your IP address from anyone that might want to spy on it. But those relays also make web browsing a bit of a slow, laggy process. If you’d prefer a private browser with more speed, Brave is an excellent choice.
What you shouldn’t do is just open your browser’s incognito mode and call it a day—at least not until Google closes out a lawsuit that alleges that the tech giant continues to track users while they’re browsing incognito.
