What's the easiest thing for most people to do to improve their digital privacy? (midwest.social)

For me, I currently use Firefox on my computer and phone, uBlock Origin and YouTube Vanced. What else is fairly easy to do that I can add on?

I think YouTube Vanced is no longer supported by the devs and it was never a privacy-focused project anyway. There are plenty of FOSS Android apps that can stream YouTube more privately though. NewPipe is probably the most popular.

LibreTube is worth checking too

NewPipe is great, and if you're in the regular youtube app, you can use the share feature to send a video to NP for immediate download.
