I already use Firefox with ublock origin and badger. I have a Plex server being hosted and I have a network VPN set up that I set up. What else should I do?

The main ones for me were looking at big tech companies, and getting away from it. Getting away from Facebook, Twitter. WhatsApp -> Signal + Text message. Finding an alternative email provider (proton mail, but not fully migrated). I got myself a Pixel 6a and installed GrapheneOS on it as I wasn't comfortable on Android any more.

It is a process, and takes time. It's about understanding the risks, and what you care about, and taking steps to migrate.
