Besides Degoogling? One option is to simply generate less data; the other option is to generate an enormous amount of noise around your digital footprint.
How would one do “noise”?
An example applied to web browsing is the Firefox extension AdNauseam. It’s kinda like uBlockOrigin but instead of just blocking the ads, it sends a few packets to similate a click.
Feasibly, you could have several dummy accounts also associated with your name, and run a script to fill them up with various styles of interaction, but only having visible interactions with other dummy accounts. The less an algorithm can characterize you, the more digging an entity would need to do to find out anything useful- and if there’s anything we know about massive data collection, it’s that nobody is in the habit of doing all the sifting manually.
Why would the second option work?
Because they are already dealing with so much data that it doesn’t make sense to parse it. For instance, generating random search queries in the background will dilute the company’s ability to profile you by your search history.
Move to China I guess, or learn Chinese so you can use Chinese services for everything. IDK what other good ways there are without becoming a recluse.
If you become a recluse, the FBI will move your cabin in the woods to their museum.

you can minimize your online footprint, you know https://www.privacytools.io/
Do not use privacytools. A bunch of controversy happened on its management team. The person who currently runs privacytools has turned it into a paid link farm. He takes money from NordVPN, Surfshark, and Incogni, among others.
The old, good management team with integrity moved to a new and better website, https://www.privacyguides.org/en/
Thanks for the heads up
