Thanks for the feedback!

When I create my materials, I have my mom in mind as the target reader. While I use GrapheneOS and have tried (and hated) fingerprint-blocking tools, many people are at a much earlier stage of ability/interest. That's actually why I started my site: Two years ago when I was feeling ready to do something about being surveilled, I had to do a ton of research and figure it all out for myself. There was nothing that was understandable and doable for the average person, and my goal is to get people on board with caring about their privacy and reclaiming their lives from Big Tech This checklist is meant for newbies to get started on their journey.

I put the advertising blocks at the end because I figured in the first four weeks, people would be experimenting with different software, platforms, and maybe even hardware. Is that a bad idea?

I get it! Mailfence has a free starter plan.

I used a spreadsheet to track all the logins I changed, privacy settings I did on each, etc. I did a little at a time. Now, ProtonPass stores all my passwords so I don't have to worry about remembering the masked email I created for each one.

There's a lot of up-front effort, but then things smooth out as the new platforms and habits become your new normal.
