Purchase a VPN

A VPN allows you to route your internet traffic through a remote server, effectively masking your IP address and encrypting your connection, it provides a strong layer of protection for everyday internet use.



Not using Public Wi-Fi

Public Wi-Fi networks, whether at cafes, libraries, or airports, are insecure. They make it easy for third parties to intercept your internet traffic, potentially exposing your personal data and browsing habits. In the case of using public Wi-Fi networks, it's essentially to use a VPN to encrypt your traffic, or best to avoid using public Wi-Fi networks altogether.



Using the right web browser

Out of all the web browsers, like Safari, Chrome and Internet Explorer, Firefox is the only browser that doesn't sell user data, and has historically protected its user’s rights.

Browsing in Incognito Mode

Incognito or Private Mode is available in most browsers (like Chrome, Edge and Safari) and works similarly to Firefox’s private browsing. It provides some level of privacy on your device by preventing searches and websites from being recorded in your browser history. For stronger privacy, you can consider using a VPN with incognito mode.

If you are sharing or using public devices to search for sensitive information, manually clearing your browsing history will help remove these records from the device.
