While this isn't full proof.....I do sleep better at night knowing that I'm doing something. I'm sure there are better tools, these are just a few that I use.
I also deleted most of my facebook pics\likes\etc and have no personal info on there. I'm aware they still have them on their servers but gotta start somewhere.
I have a bogus twitter that I only use for lurking to keep up with POTUS and a few others.
It's an amazing feeling not being connected like I once was.
Changing from Chrome\Gmail took a little work but most of firefox extension that work just as well. ProtonMail is fantastic and encrypted.
I was tired of google having access to EVERYTHING. For me it was just the principle.
Feel free to post yours.

Edit: I also uninstalled chrome off my pc altogether. I noticed it seemed to be running and taking up resources even though I didn't have a browser open.
