So recently I’ve gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here’s a short list of what I’ve done, but I’m wondering if I’m missing anything important:

  • Moved from Brave to Firefox
  • Bought my own domain for my email (so I can switch email providers at any time)
  • Switched to Duck Duck Go from google (It’s gotten worse anyways)
  • Bought the Proton package (VPN, Encrypted email, etc…)
  • Installed Thunderbird (instead of microsoft mail app)
  • Installed uBlock Origin
  • Installed Bitwarden for password managing (My passwords are also no longer all the same)

Is there anything that I have missed that should be a priority for internet security?

    Good points! We’re actually in agreement on all of these things, my opinion about email was not including a desktop app as browser viewing for me has been just fine (remember I have multiple email accounts so each account gets relatively low traffic on a per account basis)

    The custom domain thing seems handy but how often are you really changing emails if you have multiple to begin with too, either or works I’m just biased toward my own habits lol
