What are the best ways to maximize privacy? In terms of search engines, browsers, image and video hosts, ISP's, VPN's?
I know its practically impossible to be anonymous, but what measures can I take to limit my data traffic?

Thanks, this is what I was looking for. I remember hearing about all these different tools but I never saved the names long enough to actually switch over. Which version of IceCat do you recommend?
On Linux, the latest / 52.6.0
On Windows, the most recent build is 38.8.0 (get icecat-38.8.0.en-US.win32.zip).
For Android, see IceCat Mobile.
Search engine - https://searx.me/ is good.
Browser - GNU IceCat. It comes with a few extensions which are actually a bit over-zealous; I remove LibreJS (and any associated exception extensions) and use NoScript and uBlock Origin instead (don't use AdBlock Plus, nor Ghostery).
Media hosts - https://kek.gg/ and https://catbox.moe/ are good.
VPN - unfortunately the only one I would trust is my own, or at least one on a rented VPS (requires learning to set up, though I'll say I like OpenVPN as a deployment).
When browsing, always prefer HTTPS / don't open links which are plain unsecured HTTP unless it's trivial and you really need to.
