    3 simple things that everyone can do.

    1. Use Mozilla Firefox as your default browser

    Avoid Google Chrome, Apple Safari or Microsoft Edge.

    Mozilla Firefox is an amazing open source, privacy-focused and secure browser.

    2. Don’t give your data to facebook

    Why are you telling Meta your gender, your date of birth, or the city where you live ?

    Facebook doesn’t need to know any that. The more information they have about you, the more money they make. If you still use facebook, go to your profile right now. Delete these informations. It takes 30 seconds.

    Remember to also visit Facebook privacy settings. So many don’t do that.

    Do not allow “personalized advertising”

    3- Install the uBlock extension

    uBlock is an incredibly powerful Firefox extension

    It is designed to block invisible advertising trackers that gather data about you. But it also eliminates a significant number of ads. That makes browsing the internet significantly faster.

    This is super basic stuff. It takes 2 minutes.

    I have actually gone a lot further. But I wish more people did the basic stuff.
