Not using my real name on any social media profiles except LinkedIn (so potential employers don’t think I’m weird), posting at random times of the day, commenting on something not related to the country where I live, using email alias (and multiple ones), never posting a picture of my real face.

When someone messaged me with a number of personal details about me. I realized that I’d posted too much personally about me and used the same username everywhere.

There is never one that is the “best”. You just have to choose one based on what fits you and your view point.

There are many places that list DNS providers: DNSCrypt, Privacy Guides, and Privacy Raccoon are just some.

I would encourage you to find one that fits your needs at DNSCrypt, or Privacy Guides, or Privacy Raccoon. Which will provide some basic information about a DNS resolver, then you can do more research as you see fit.

As a heads-up, some will block ads for you and some won’t.

Deleted my account & the 3rd party app on my phone. I’m only checking select subreddits through Libreddit (until it stops working).
