VPN, your cable company openly sells your browsing data... many vpn services claim not to keep logs... it's all a matter of trust whether they do or not. "Hide my ass" vpn kept logs and turned over information to govt agencies while claiming not to log. PIA has a good track record w/ no articles about them selling or turning over data. That being said FVEY likely sees all of it and probably runs many of these companies.
If you don't want to give them advertising dollars archive it for other users. Sometimes I archive stuff and sometimes I don't.
Yeah, I use a vpn and use separate browsers for different types of browsing. Plus, I delete all browsing history with every use, turn "off" my wifi connection (never allow auto connect) and run ccleaner to remove any other "stuff" that may be lingering. I use the very old "TCPview" and "procmon" to watch what connects where. I've tried glasswire and wireshark but, eh.
The most illegal thing I do is torrent something once in a blue moon and use poal (or even worse, kiwifarms!); I just don't want my every word and movement documented...it makes me claustrophobic.
I do archive on occasion as well. Thank you for your reply btw.
Cheers.
