OK, I’ve posted this elsewhere and took a moment to find it: Phone on airplane mode (eliminates WiFi/BT cellular & GPS tracking) run physical mobile hotspot device for data (like [Calyx hotspot](https://calyxinstitute.org/membership/internet) - +2pts of you pick Moxee model to also run rayhunter) connect to hotspot over WiFi with random MAC addresses (effectively eliminates IMSI tracking) Enable a solid VPN with Kill switch. (Helps hide location and other usage from ISP) Use e2ee chat/text/phone apps over WiFi like Signal, SimpleX, XMPP server or app (servers=Jabber, Prosody, Snikket, etc apps are Cheogram, Snikket, Conversations - eliminates carrier tracking to an extent unless you can also get your friends and family on it) Run a degoogled OS with profiles capability Run alt app stores - preferably F-Droid or something without Google services Run Firefox forks like Librewolf or Waterfox or even Ironfox with Port Authority and Privacy Badger extensions Use a more private search engine or host your own. I like Ecosia which does have some ads, but they’re not evil (yet) and help with reforestation. There are others, I forget names. Someone can add to this list. Something you can do to help your wife though, without running anything additional, run an adblocker like Pi-hole, Adguard, eBlocker, or Technitium Bonus: focus on FOSS and/or other non-US tech based companies. Proton, Mullvad, Nord, and US/CAN based goodness are EFF, Calyx Institute, Privacy4Cars, so many more That’s a solid start, some easier than others obviously. Others should add to this list!
