EDITOR BRIEF
Web browsing leaves behind details like your IP address, screen size, and fonts, which ad companies can combine into a profile. The article says you can improve privacy without being a security expert by starting with your browser, blocking trackers, using a VPN, securing search and DNS, and cleaning up accounts. It also explains that each tool has limits, so you should build a practical setup.
