>>2549If you have a phone, look into unlocking it. i'm not gonna ask you to buy a whole new phone or anything, but if you can unlock your phone you should. If you cant, try your best to restrict what permissions apps have, try putting telemetry to the lowest level, use Fossdroid to find open source alternatives to regular apps, turn onto airplane mode when you aren't using wifi or text and turn onto wifi off when only using text. There's also the aurora store IIRC where you can download apps anonymously. Sign out of google on your phone, and probably factory reset it too, and never log back into it.
If you're willing to go the extra step, set Librewolf to auto-delete cookies and history on closing. And if you wanna go the extra-extra mile you can use Mullvad to be extra safe (Hides your location, also allows you to pirate stuff)
The camera thing may be a joke, but its futile on your phone since you'll end up using it anyway. as for laptops, maybe get a sliding cover, or on desktops just unplug the webcam when you arent using it. Though, this isn't as big a deal as people make it out to be.
This is a low-mid level privacy guide. you can go less or further if you wish, and there are millions of guides online. And one last thing, try not too stand out TOO much. It's called fingerprinting, and its how they can trivialize all efforts to be anonymous.
