Internet Privacy Guide

Privacy on the internet isn’t about having something to hide — it’s about having something to protect.

This guide is for everyday users who want to reduce their exposure to tracking, data collection, and surveillance without becoming a full-time security expert.

We recommend Linux for the most private desktop experience, but this guide covers Windows and mobile too.

Where to start: Begin with Passwords — it’s the single most impactful thing you can do.
