La Boîte à Pain - Le forum

I’ve been trying to clean up my online habits a bit. I use my phone for almost everything, but I also work from my laptop when I’m out of the house. I’m not doing anything unusual, just don’t love the idea of every site, network, and app knowing exactly where I am or what device I’m on. What are some simple ways to browse a bit more anonymously on both devices?

The practical tips you include make it easy for readers to apply the concepts discussed. Very helpful! plab exam

I’d start with the boring but useful stuff: turn off location access for apps that don’t need it, use a browser with decent privacy settings, block third-party cookies, and don’t stay logged into every account all day. On my laptop, I also made a separate browser profile for random browsing, which keeps things a little cleaner. A VPN can help too, especially because it hides your regular IP and makes browsing on public networks feel less exposed. I came across Toggle VPN when looking for something that works on both phone and desktop without too much setup. It’s not a complete invisibility button, but it fits well as one layer.

A lot depends on habits more than one single app. Private browsing mode, tracker blocking, fewer permissions, updated devices, and not connecting to random Wi-Fi all add up. It’s usually better to make a few changes you’ll actually keep using instead of trying to build some complicated privacy setup.
