So recently I’ve gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done, but I’m wondering if I’m missing anything important:

  • Moved from Brave to Firefox
  • Bought my own domain for my email (so I can switch email providers at any time)
  • Switched to Duck Duck Go from google (It’s gotten worse anyways)
  • Bought the Proton package (VPN, Encrypted email, etc…)
  • Installed Thunderbird (instead of microsoft mail app)
  • Installed uBlock Origin
  • Installed Bitwarden for password managing (My passwords are also no longer all the same)

Is there anything that I have missed that should be a priority for internet security?

    You’re doing it when protonmail goes out of business suddenly, or changes their privacy rules, or decides they want to raise prices and you don’t want to pay. You can never really predict these things, and having a cheap (domain names can be like $15 a year) option is great.

      That’s a fair point.

      Idk I think I’m to the point these days where if I were to lose access to a side account I had locked down that heavily it wouldn’t be with anything majorly important of my life and I’d just start that persona/online activities again with a new one
