Password manager, 2FA where available (these for security more than privacy). Firefox with ublock, noscript and privacy badger for browsing. PiHole for DNS using standard block lists to remove adverts and trackers.

I give a fake phone number to companies who ask for one. I also often sign up with temporary emails when possible.
Honestly unless it's legit like a passport application, any form i fill out gets bogus PII, they don't need to know anything about me.
Ddg email prot is also rll good

Cryptomator. Automated backups are good, uploading all of your files in plaintext to a corporation's servers is not.
Avoid using cloud services as much as possible, self host FOSS alternatives instead.
