 A strange thing happened during my train commute.

I was talking with a colleague about buying noise-cancelling headphones.

I never searched for them.
Didn’t type it.
Didn’t even open a shopping app.

30 minutes later —
my phone showed only headphone ads.

Not one. Not two.
My entire feed.

That was the moment I realized:

My phone wasn’t just responding to me… it was predicting me.

So I tried a small experiment for a week.

I changed only one habit —
I stopped using the internet “naked”.

I started connecting through Thunder VPN whenever I was outside home Wi-Fi.

Nothing dramatic happened.

Which was exactly the point.

My location-based suggestions dropped.
Tracking-style ads reduced.
Random websites stopped auto-detecting my city instantly.

I didn’t become invisible.

But I became… less obvious.

And privacy today isn’t about disappearing —
it’s about reducing how predictable you are.

We lock our homes.
We lock our laptops.

But we carry an unlocked data generator in our pocket all day.

Convenience trained us to ignore it.

Awareness fixes it.

What small habit improved your digital privacy recently?
