Apart of VPN and ad/trackerblockers, maybe DNScrypt, common sense, this is the best privacy tool. Linux by default is a good privacy protecting OS (at least most Distros). Privacyproblems are online, if you use Chrome and search with Google, posting in these Zuckerbot or Mustythingies, all security measures and OS cannot protect you. Use Firefox(!) or Vivaldi, search with Whoogle, Andisearch, SearX, Qwant, Mojeek, DDG or MetaGer, be discreet with your private data, use a secure email (e.g. Proton, Tutanota, Murena), do not upload private photos to Imgur (or better yet, upload nothing to Imgur)
Yeah, I use near full Foss on my linux setup. Just 1 proprietary driver
What's dnscrypt? Is it better than VPN?
