How do I stop websites from tracking me?

Every website tries to track you. Here’s how to block most of it.

Step 1: Switch browser. Chrome is made by an ad company. Use a privacy-focused one instead.

Step 2: Use a private search engine. Google saves every search. Alternatives don’t.

Step 3: Block trackers. An ad blocker stops them from loading (and speeds up pages).

Step 4: Manage cookies. Reject non-essential ones, or use a browser that blocks them.

That’s it. These four steps block most tracking.
