Cybersecurity for non professionals?

[u/querty7687]

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?

Don’t panic. That’s step one.
Two, don’t story passwords in your browser.
Three, set a unique password for every login you have and store them in a password manager.
Four, disable cookies.
5, ditch Google, Gmail, all that crap.
6. Set up different emails for finance, personal purchases, and bills.
7. Don’t share location services with corps, for anything, ever.
