How To Increase Your Internet Privacy Using Only Your Mind

In this episode we talk about how to level up your privacy online using only your mind. Having the correct mindset will get you 80% of the way to internet privacy. Reaching 100% is extremely difficult and likely impossible. However, if you start with the right mindset you'll get much closer than if you only used tools like a bandage.

But don't worry, we'll cover the tools I'm currently using to boost that percentage as close to 100% as possible.
