Ask HN: Simple steps for thwarting web tracking

Despite the relatively good news this morning (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/28/technology/fcc-tightens-privacy-rules-for-broadband-providers.html), I've been thinking about how best one can alter their browsing habits in order to best preserve their privacy.

These are my steps:

* Browse only in incognito/private mode

* Use adblock and/or privacy badger plugins

* Use a VPN

* Do not search/surf while logged into gmail or any social media

What other basic, simple steps can be taken in addition to these?
