Like the others said, hardening your browser is going to be a good option. Additionally, a password manager is big too. I recommend BitWarden as its open sourced, cross platform and audited regularly. Security enables privacy, this is why you always see the two often referenced together. Standard Notes is another simple but powerful option. Like BitWarden its an open sourced and cross platform encryption based software. Emails are a big way to be tracked as well, using ProtonMail with SimpleLogin and/or AnonAddy is a powerful move but not exactly easy I guess
