Use a VPN, signal messenger, and a phone with graphine on it or at least a keyboard that doesn't need Internet permissions. Also avoid social media and use browser extensions to block ads and scripts, plus use different browsers for different things and ddg or other private search engines. Pay cash and buy second hand whenever possible.
These are all great suggestions, but you will still show up on data brokers sites.
