For day-to-day use with regular internet activities you would be better off using a reputable VPN. They are cheap and easy to set up. I agree that masking meta-searches is only the tip of the iceberg. Some basic things a user can do to conceal their online traffic is browser extensions (Ghostery, noScript, uBlock Origins), stay away from intrusive browser extensions and phone applications, stay off or logged out of social media, and begin clearing their browsers cache more often. Tracking will still find a way (credit cards, canvas fingerprinting, browser metadata, etc.) to create identifiable entropy, we can only work to reduce exposure in this tech era. At the end of the day it's still a balance between security and convenience. People will be excited to use Ebates or Honey for a kickback or coupon, handing over all their personal metrics in the process.
