If you care about your privacy,
You should consider this:

1. Do not use Dropbox. Use @SpiderOak instead. Zero-knowledge, encrypted storage.

2. Do not use Gmail (or the like),
Use @ProtonMail or Countermail.
PGP (control of own keys on latter.) 2FA, keyfiles, etc.

#opsec
3. Do not use Google Search (or @DuckDuckGo, since both are U.S based). Use @StartPageSearch.

4. Always use VPN, even for everyday-surfing. Consider VPN-chains (You->VPN->TOR->VPN)
Provider: zorrovpn.net

5. Do not use LastPass (cloudbased). Use @KeePass (local)
6. Empty your clipboard automatically, often. Get a program to do it for you. Search it up.

7. Do not use regular USB drives. Use hardware-encrypted drives.
Example: istorage-uk.com/product/datash…

8. Always use FullDisk encryption. For PC = Truecrypt/Veracrypt. OSX = SOL.

#opsec
9. To protect yourself against Keyloggers, use keyscramblers. For PC, download ”Keyscrambler.”

10. To protect yourself against eavesdropping (cam/mic), download ”MicroSnitch” and/or ”OverSight.” Extra paranoid? Physically remove cam/mic
Or: c-slide.com/product-page/s… (phones, too)
11. Never use SMS 2FA, go for Google Authenticator. But if you insist, make sure to use a different phone + number than your main phone/number. This is crucial.

12. If you use a phone for $crypto, i.e use it to send/receive or store crypto, use HW wallets only - NO exceptions.
13. Protect yourself against DNS leaks. Download DNSCrypt (for PC and OSX)

14. When using FileVault2 encryption on your Mac, it is important to protect against Evil-Maid-Attacks.
Download YONTMA: github.com/iSECPartners/y…
(Forces your Mac into hibernation instead of sleep.)
