Firefox and the EFF addOn, Privacy Badger?

(Didn't know that about Chromium...)

You can do an awful lot, depending on how much work you want to 
put into it.

Installing uBlock Origin on your browser is a minimal step. Turn
on the logging.

You can take charge of your DNS in a number of ways.

You can record all your network activity.

How deep down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

I use the kernel packet filtering rules to examine outgoing packets'
destinations. You can do this in real-time and block or rewrite outgoing
packets if you wish.

Well, this one's for Firefox, but that's more secure than most:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lightbeam-3-0/

Dropping by Adobe, and then checking out who they associate with is
interesting.

Using duckduckgo for searching, rather than Google helps a lot.
And installing NoScript works.
Cheers!

My old PIII died and I replaced it with a Raspberry PI running
the Raspbian derivative of Debian.
It's clear just from the cookies that PaleMoon browser and
Chromium call home every time they are used.
The number of other apps that are keeping history of my
usage/transactions that I see no need for is many.
What tools need I use to see what sites on the Inet are contacted?
Thanks,
Mike
