When websites could theoretically track me.

I keep my browser on "delete all my cookies/cache/local storage/history/everything (except bookmarks and addons, basically) every time I exit" mode. And I never log into anything without closing out of my browser entirely first to get rid of anything they could use to correlate "you visited this blog" with my specific Google (or whatever) account. When I'm done with whatever I logged in for, I close my browser entirely again.

My phone browser doesn't have a "delete everything on close" feature, so I just use the "delete all data on this app" feature liberally.

I feel so sad for you because your feelings come from a good place but unfortunately you just haven't paid attention enough ☹️
