How to be more anonymous and safer online?

Do you know what incognito or private browsing is? It's a way of surfing the internet where you use the same browser you normally use (e.g. Safari or Chrome) but perform all your actions in a separate incognito or private window.

Why would you surf incognito? Because your browser knows australia whatsapp list you do, search for, and keeps a valuable record of it. That's why when you open your browser, you can often see or get the option to easily and quickly connect to websites you've already visited.

Besides your browser knowing a lot about you and where you spend your time online, if you share a laptop, there's a good chance you don't want everyone to know what you're doing, even if you're not searching for any tricky sites or terms. Everyone has the right to surf anonymously.

Incognito surfing does not guarantee absolute anonymity and your internet provider can still see what you are doing despite incognito mode. Who can't? Not others who use your laptop because your searches won't be recorded anywhere.

It's also a good idea to clear your cookies and browsing history every few days or weeks (preferably once a week) because the cache, among other things, can store private information such as credit card and payment information, personal information, passwords, and similar details that you don't want to fall into the wrong hands.

Anonymous browser
Google isn't the only thing separating you from the beauty of surfing the internet, so if you're concerned about the amount of information Google collects and knows about you, you can change your browser, and a good alternative is DuckDuckGo.

It may not be as advanced as Google, but it is good enough to satisfy all your search needs, displaying search results just like Google, all in a fast and high-quality manner.

There are many more anonymous browsers on the internet that offer greater or lesser levels of security and privacy, so if you're interested in them and are ready to ditch Google, search and try out what's on offer until you find one you like and that suits your needs.

Invest in a quality VPN
If you don't happen to know what a VPN is, you can find out here: What is a VPN and why do you need one? In short, when it comes to information, absolutely everything you do on the internet can be tracked via your IP address.

An IP address is the physical address that websites use to communicate with your network. For this reason, if you want to search and surf the Internet anonymously, you will need to hide your IP address.

A virtual private network, or VPN, is a service that helps you mask your real IP address by assigning you a virtual IP address in another location. On your VPN app, you can choose the country and even the city from which the network will obtain your IP address data.

In addition to anonymity and secure browsing, a VPN is great for accessing content that is banned in your country or another country you are in. You probably know that Netflix differs in its content in Europe and America, that BBC's iPlayer is only available in the UK, and that Facebook or Twitter is blocked in some countries.

A VPN can bypass such restrictions and help you surf without worries, but also access content that you would not be able to access due to your location. As is usually the case, nothing good is free, so the best VPN is one that costs something, not one that promises everything for free.

My recommendation? Surfshark, which offers everything for just $1.99 per month (13.15 kuna or 1.74 eur per month), which is a real bargain considering all the options it has, like an ad-blocker and an unlimited number of devices that you can connect to just one account.
