Just to be clear, #DigiBlogChat, I'm no medic.
So I don't know whether (like aviation's: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate) those are the actual categories and whether they do them in that sequence of priority!
These are great ideas. Also, you can use Google with an ongoing search for your online data, then remove it as Google finds it. #DigiBlogChat
Private browsing doesn't make someone anonymous. Incognito or private mode primarily limits what gets stored locally on the device; websites, networks and internet providers may still see activity. #DigiBlogChat
A10a No browser makes someone completely anonymous. Tor provides stronger anonymity by routing traffic through multiple relays, while privacy-focused browsers and search engines can reduce tracking. The best choice depends on how much privacy a person needs versus convenience. #DigiBlogChat
Q10. Which browsers best protect your anonymity (Tor, DuckDuckGo, etc.)? #DigiBlogChat

It has been quieter here. Hopefully there's more traffic on X/Twitter! #DigiBlogChat
So the ex-Twitter #DigiBlogChat is moving back to X/Twitter!
Spread the word! #DigiBlogChat
Between questions, here’s the topic on next week’s chat: Cats vs. Dogs!
And we'll be back on X/Twitter! #DigiBlogChat

A9 Start with the privacy and security tools offered by major search engines, social platforms and data-broker removal services. Also search for old accounts and close ones no longer needed. Digital cleanup works best as an ongoing process, not a one-time purge. #DigiBlogChat
Q9. What websites do you use to monitor or scrub your online digital data? #DigiBlogChat

Folders for apps (presumably on a phone) work well in some ways. But, as with files, messages, etc, things belong to multiple categories.
On my computer, the apps are all in one place.
A8. Two things I love about Dashlane is their dark web monitoring and password “hygiene” alerts. #DigiBlogChat
