A quick run down of some simple browser based extensions to give you back some semblance of privacy:<p><pre><code> 1. uBlock Origin - best open source ad blocker 2. Ghostery - stops you from being tracked as much as possible 3. Chrome UA Spoofer - Use chrome but set the user agent to firefox, this way custom exploits target the wrong browser saving you from being pwned 4. HTTPS Everywhere - Defualts sites to https if possible </code></pre> I&#x27;d also recommend everyone pick up a copy of The Transparent Society (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;amzn.to&#x2F;2Lapjw7" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;amzn.to&#x2F;2Lapjw7</a>) as it goes into depth on individual privacy and the right to access information about those in control of society.
