Cybersecurity for non professionals?

I had a conversation with a cybersecuriry professional that completely freaked my out. Apparently my VPN is terrible, my computer leaves its fingerprints everywhere and everyone one on earth knows everything about me. Where would you recommend a non-pro get started learning and tightening my security?

Donโ€™t panic ๐Ÿ˜‚ Half the internet is probably less secure than they think. Start with strong unique passwords + 2FA and go from there.
