privacyguides.org has been a great resource for years now. They also have a community at !privacyguides@lemmy.one
After years of just feeling like it was an overwhelming task to take on, I recently figured it was time to make some changes. I figure any change is good change, so started with things like moving to Firefox (and Kiwi on mobile) and adding some privacy focused add ons.
I spent a weekend moving from LastPass to Bitwarden and changing tons of passwords.
Then I spent a day setting up Nextcloud on a spare RPi I had around, so now syncing photos, contacts, and calendar there.
This week, I opened a Protonmail account and moved my personal address there instead of using Gmail.
The Privacy Guide link someone posted looks great. I'll definitely use it to keep me thinking about what I can change. One step at a time, you know?

This is in addition to the great Privacy Guides link another commenter mentioned.
+1 for alternativeto. Searching for alternatives to popular apps using the filters like "Open Source" as well as operating system, privacy, etc.. is a game changer. There's also comment sections where people sometimes elaborate on certain things like differences between the app you're comparing to.
Sorry to say that but opera is a really bad choice for privacy, actually on of the worst. https://youtu.be/k8hUs0W-UWY
It's a shame what happened to that browser. It was groundbreaking at one time.
