Everything you need to become a Privacy Wizard.
- Privacy Tools (thanks u/yieldingTemporarily)
- ethical.net (thanks u/yieldingTemporarily)
- AlternativeTo - Find alternatives for software. Used extensively to build this guide. Also check out Switching.software (thanks @mynamesleon)
- Framasoft - Lots of alternatives and software. Too many to fit into the list. Also check out this link. Thanks @NicolasPA
- r/Privacy wiki
- r/VPN - Read the sidebar and wiki to learn more about why you should consider using a VPN. I personally use Mullvad but do your own research before choosing.
- Four Methods to Create a Secure Password You'll Actually Remember
- How to Create a Strong Password (and Remember It)
- Use a password manager such as Bitwarden
- Set up multi-factor/two-factor authentication on as many accounts as you can
- Don't save passwords to your browser: Erase the entire password cache once you set up a password manager.
- Remove bloatware from Android (without root)
- What are 5-eyes, 9-eyes, and 14-eyes?
- Outline is an awesome tool for getting all the junk out of news articles (I've used it a few times in this guide already). Sometimes it can get around paywalls for "premium" news sites.
- What is Tor and should I use it?
- HTTP vs. HTTPS
- The EFF has an excellent guide on how to stay safe and secure online. It is incredibly useful and I suggest that everyone read through it.

- Why you should put tape over your webcam
- What is DNS and why should I change it? I think it's common sense to not use Google Public DNS; I use and recommend Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1. Use DNSPerf to see which one is fastest for you (Google ranks 4th and Cloudflare ranks 1st at time of writing this).
- What is GDPR? TechRadar and The Guardian
