(1). Avoid using Chrome. Because google is known for the biggest user data collector in Internet, Google using all of it's tools to collect personal data of users as much as possible. Then google use those data to make profile of user and people around them google make timeline of your every activity and use them to show you specifically target ads to you. You can use other browser which provide better privacy protection then chrome. Some of them is Mozila, Brave, duckduckgo, Tor

(3). Stop using google.com as your default search engine instead of that use other search engine which doesn't track your every search query. Suggested Duckduckgo.com or you can use any other as per your choice. Try to be less dependent on google search.
(4). Google and other analytic company follows you on every site you visit. So you can block them by using Duckduckgo browser extension, available for almost every browser. Which will block all known trackers from site & also shows site ratings

@the_robot I am using Duckduckgo.com from last one year. Even I am using it in phone as well. It's really helpful.

(5). Learn what is Tor browser and how to use it. Download Tor browser from official site only. https://www.torproject.org/

(6). Use a good VPN. There is 100s of vpn available in the market. Do proper research about vpn you are going to buy. Do not use free vpn.
(7). Always use VPN when you are using wifi from public places or hotel or while traveling anywhere.
(8). To make your VPN more effective change your system time to the timezone of the location you are going to use on VPN.

(9). Use multiple browsers. One for research and sensitive work like online banking, another for shopping (Always use incognito mode while you searching and product on eCommerce), Do not let eCommerce companies or other trackers to know your search history.
(10). Do not use browser extension which offers you discount on products and provide you time to time product sell alert. These kind of extension can monitor your online behavior.
(11). Use incognito mode while searching on google.

(16). Prefer iPhone over Android if possible. (Do not debate here on my thread about this. First do own research. I am saying this after lots of research and experience).
(17). On Iphone keep backround usages of apps off and do not give access to your contact msg and notification access to every app.
(18). Hacking an iPhone remotely is very hard (Not impossible) but most of the iphone hack is done by physical contact (possible In 10-30sec), So be careful with whom you sharing your mobile.
