Internet anonymity for the cheap and lazy

Use TOR.

Donate plasma a couple times and buy a VPN. I use NordVPN, but do your own research

i tried tor once upon a time and it was slow as molasses. is there no way to accomplish what i want while keeping the internet usable? i'm not a criminal so tor may be a bit extreme no? the vpn is an idea. i'll check it out.

Scratch duck duck go for startpage or searx. Its just better, and not run by another company who in the end wants your money just as bad as google does.

Wouldnt go for ghostery or avst either - pretty sure they're both closed sourced. Not worth it.

Extensions i would add:
1) Privacy badger
2) decentraleyes

it's a lot faster now. use a VPN and Tor for maximum comfiness

There's one more thing you need to do to keep them from tracking you. You need to run your browser in incognito mode.

Don't listen to this piece of shit. Don't listen to me either, for that matter, but if you do a little bit of research you'll find opinions from people who are more knowledgeable than me who say that using tor over a VPN is both useless and can undermine the tor network.

I live in a small retirement community, using Tor on its own would essentially deanonymise me and I'd rather not let that happen.

Use VPN.
PIA is proved to be trustworthy with their privacy policies in FBI case where asked by court they were unable to provide any information about their user, because they didn't had any.

Not sure how many VPNs are there which proved their privacy policies.

There's a reason he shouldn't listen to you.

Connecting Tor -> VPN you're extra safe

Connected VPN -> Tor you're fucking yourself over

As >>60045916 said, don't use DuckDuckGo. Gabriel Weinberg founded DDG with the millions he made selling the Names Database which profited off gathering personal information.

I use Searx and a server randomizer script (searx.neocities.org) to scatter my search queries so no one server has a complete picture. There's about 60 servers, so even if a bunch of them are compromised you'll still fare better than putting it all in one place.

>i also prefer not to have casual users of my pc run into embarrassing shit that autocomplete throws up in the address bar while typing.
Any suggestions for this? Yes, I use my parent's computer.
