Use a solid VPN
Use Firefox derivative (Waterfox and Libre Wolf, feel free to use multiple to separate tracking)
Use pivate tab mode
Use Privacy Badger (EFF)
Use Port Authority (highly rated port scan blocker to block network port scanning from LexisNexis)
Close unused tabs
Clear cache and cookies on exit
Disable unused network stuff (WiFi and/or data, GPS, BT, NFC, anything that’s not required that could be used for location scanning)
On Android 15+ iirc, disabled mic and/or camera permissions until necessary. Most people don’t talk on the phone anymore so it’s rare you need the mic (unblock for camera)
