What steps can I take to be more secure on the internet? (lemmy.world)

So recently I've gotten a bit more serious about my internet security, and made some changes. Here's a short list of what I've done, but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything important:

Moved from Brave to Firefox
Bought my own domain for my email (so I can switch email providers at any time)
Switched to Duck Duck Go from google (It's gotten worse anyways)
Bought the Proton package (VPN, Encrypted email, etc...)
Installed Thunderbird (instead of microsoft mail app)
Installed uBlock Origin
Installed Bitwarden for password managing (My passwords are also no longer all the same)

Is there anything that I have missed that should be a priority for internet security?

Better just not to use telephones and use tools that make such an attack useless (eg VPNs so you can safely use hostile ISPs)
