1. Don’t buy a newer car.
2. Stay the heck away from “loyalty cards.”
3. Use a third-party proxy or Tor to browse. I personally have three proxies setup on Amazon’s AWS and use VPN to connect to anything on my own network. Using Tor anonymizes this even more. My network connections are not blazing fast, but I know security is the price to pay for that relative anonymity.
Unless that proxy was set up by the NSA.

“Use a third-party proxy or Tor to browse.”
Doesn’t work. At some point the little bits are sent to your location and that is tracked. You think Amazon AWS is secure somehow? They can EASILY collect everything going into those proxies and show it was sent to you.
The ONLY means to protect your browsing is to use a virtual PC at Starbucks or some other location you don’t pay for. However, if you ever sign on as you do on FR that security is lost.
Also, if you browse certain web sites you can be identified by your browsing habits.
Frankly, if you are on the Internet, you are not anonymous.
