I will replicate this with Edge + Chrome + Brave some day. I like your out-of-the-box approachNextDNS blocking all, but about 20 TLDs, plus some antitracking filters, they block pretty much all ads. CookieAutodelete to remove caches on the go.
Separate browsers for separate accounts, Edge for browsing, Brave only for Google/Youtube and LibreWolf only for FB, the rest of the internet blocked.

DNS over HTTPS using a third-party DNS (not your ISP) should limit the amount of data your ISP collects?What privacy? All your bases are belong to your ISP. Seriously, all you can do is consciously limit what you provide when you surf the web and don't do anything nefarious to set off red flags. I guess using Linux helps because you don't have all that telemetry that's baked into Windows.
DNS over HTTPS using a third-party DNS (not your ISP) should limit the amount of data your ISP collects?
Technically yes but it's ultimately irrelevant. Yes, your DNS request isn't visible, but if the domain you're visiting doesn't support ECH, then the domain will leak to your ISP via SNI. And even if the domain does support ECH, your ISP can still still determine what domain you're visiting by matching OCSP serial numbers to IP addresses and then reverse-resolve those IPs into domain names.DNS over HTTPS using a third-party DNS (not your ISP) should limit the amount of data your ISP collects?
Thanks Now I understand why so many people I know use a VPN from their home for private use: -)Technically yes but it's ultimately irrelevant.

If someone wants privacy from their ISP, they should use a VPN or Tor.
Personally I'm uncomfortable routing all my traffic through a VPN, but to each their own.Thanks Now I understand why so many people I know use a VPN from their home for private use: -)
I won't do it. AVLabs advises VPN for phones that no longer are supported with updates. That seems sensible, but I won't even do that.Personally I'm uncomfortable routing all my traffic through a VPN, but to each their own.
I don't even have a VPN installed on my phone anymore. I never remembered to turn it on when connecting to public WiFi and eventually I just said screw it and uninstalled it. Have yet to experience any negative effects of doing so.AVLabs advises VPN for phones that no longer are supported with updates. That seems sensible, but I won't even do that.
