\"\"In this day and age, privacy has never been more important. There are many privacy tools online from respected organizations, first and foremost among them is EFF – the Electronic Frontier Foundation. I personally use their Privacy Badger<\/a>\u00a0, their https Everywhere<\/a>,\u00a0and Panopticlick<\/a> which prevents browser fingerprinting all of which are free. EFF also has\u00a0Certbot which deploys Let\u2019s Encrypt certificates with easy-to-follow, interactive instructions based on your webserver and operating system. EFF also has a manual for self-defense or SSD [surveillance self-defence] which may be read here<\/a>\u00a0and which has tutorials and briefs.<\/p>\n

I also use Avast’s VPN which is paid but well worth it, especially if you use your computer in public spaces.<\/p>\n

However there are many other privacy tools, eg. privacytools.io which provides knowledge and tools to protect your privacy against global mass surveillance. This page<\/a> has many of their tools and explanations.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that many experts recommend Firefox and Tor<\/a> browser over Google Chrome.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also review Panopticlick tool and its guide on browser fingerprinting<\/a>, written by Bill Hess from PixelPrivacy.\u00a0 The guide provides more context about why one would want to use a tool like Panopticlick.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
