Good advices but an easier solution to point 3 is using an e2e encrypted password manager or a offline only one.
Using a password manager also helps alleviate the inconveniences highlighted in point 4. Logging back into a website isn't so bad when you can just auto-fill your way in.
Yeah i agree on that one
In reference to #5, daily use of BleachBit at the end of each computer session. Tick the 'Free Disk Space' box under the System options. Takes about an hour and a half for my system, so I run BleachBit in the evening. It won't free up disk space, nor will it make your computer run faster, but it's certainly good for security aspects. PrivaZer is also a good piece of software but it's windows based.
#3 is a pretty good tip although Bitwarden's track record of breaches that resulted in password leaks, is fairly substantial.
#6 makes me giggle because I do that for rare pictures I post online. Sometimes, I'll inject something like 'The music is reversible but time is not. Turn back, turn back, turn back' in one of the exif slots, just to see if someone is paying attention. BTW, the phrase is from an ELO instrumental that was laced with a backwards message. IIRC, the same song was used by NBC for an intro to one of their sports broadcasts back in the 70s.

Is that, never?
firefox makes #1, #4 & #5 easy with tabs & profile manager and #3 sounds clever; thanks for that.
