Tips for internet privacy protection
1. Use a hardened OS (like GrapheneOS).
To block Firebase, GCM, and ad ID tracking, install a privacy-focused custom ROM without Google Play Services.
2. Route all traffic through Tor (Orbot + Tor Browser).
That anonymises your IP, prevents metadata leakage, and makes location tracking nearly impossible.
3. Disable all sensors physically or via firewall.
Use something like RethinkDNS + Firewall to block internet access for unnecessary apps.

Tor isn't just for hackers; it protects you from being followed, censored, and nosy people.
