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?

    Update your browser, OS and other software promptly. Same for whatever network devices you use.

    Don’t use an admin/root account as your daily driver. Use an unprivileged account and elevate as needed.

    Keep a backup of your important data in offline / immutable storage.
