I do have Pinterest, one of the few completely benign apps I like. I notice that the app for tracking has me huge for news media. I’m assuming that’s Breitbart. I figure other FReepers visit this site, too, and may know how to better manage it. Should I clear history more often?

Pinterest is heavy on graphics.

I would stop any background tasks that don't need to run. These are programs that are also moving data when you aren't using that app as your primary app.

I would also use an ad blocker with Safari and consider downloading the Brave browser, which blocks a bunch of stuff, for free. (It's made by the Firefox guy who had to resign because he supported normal marriage in California.)
