Also wanted to mention Tails, but there was no space left for it :p
I'm fairly certain Tor is better than a new laptop.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Stolen laptop + tails + stolen car + McDonald's wifi
I am not quite sure buying a new laptop is better than Tor, unless you have a way to buy the laptops anonymously with cash and not being seen by any cameras. Then you would still need to connect to a different network every time.
You can wear those anti-face-detection glasses every time you buy a laptop with cash.
Fun tip for anyone in a country with blacklisted torrent sites- TOR browser plows right through it. You can open up TOR and go straight to thepiratebay.org.
Straight to it...after a 30 second delay. Tor is great. It's just far too slow for general browsing
Needs another layer for VPN chaining after driving 1 hour away to use public WiFi so they never know where you truly are.
... only for you to google: "burger restaurant near "
Surely you'd be able to triangulate the VPN connections based on the 1 hour drive.
Better to just become a nomad.
In a cat and mice game the mice will always be the one tot lose. You know who wouldn't lose to a cat? A pack of dogs. Be a pack of dogs. I'm gonna stop here before I say something very illegal bye.
Let's kill the capitalists, yes, you're right

Pi-Hole is a really thing but I don’t think my tech skills are quite up to scratch. Plus I think the wife would get ratty if it stopped working while I was out.
You can set one up your network and just point your DNS request at it on a device-by-device basis. So your wife would only use it if she wanted to.

If you run it bare metal (not in a dockercontainers for example) it's quite easy to set it up on a raspberry pi or other hardware. The wife would even know it's existence if you don't tell her and use a standard config in the blocklists ..give it a try ..you're gonna love it
Ad links from emails won’t work anymore. And the “top results” in Google won’t work.
The wife would complain.
Yup, the ad results in Google had to be whitelisted to increase the SO-acceptance-factor. But once that's done it's really not much of a hassle at all, but whitelisting is easy if you just check the recently blocked domains.

Pi-hole is pretty robust and not super hard to set up. You can run pi-hole on relatively cheap hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi 3B. I’m a big fan of Libre Computing’s “le-potato” board for running pi-hole; it’s a cheap raspberry pi clone. You’ll need some basic Linux skills but if you can follow step by step directions you’ll be fine. If you use a raspberry pi or similar hardware you’ll also need a micro SD card reader during the set up process.
They even have a Linux distro just for running stuff like that on the Pi, it's called Dietpi and it's pretty bulletproof.

VPN, block cookies, noscript, never sign into any user account.
Can you say more about never signing into a user account? I'm not sure I'm making the connection here.
Sorry I should have mentioned an "online account".
I have read many stories of people getting into trouble because they thought a VPN would protect their identity, and got caught because they signed into their online account which would be easily traceable.
Oh I got you. That makes sense.
The most illegal thing I do online is make fun of my kids with an account they know so I'm probably good. Though I do hate all the privacy invasion and do reasonable efforts for me to prevent like uBlock and Firefox and so on.
With the VPN it stops websites from knowing who you are. They don't have an email, name, or real IP to track.
Got it, thank you!
You say that from your signed in account

What's pihole?
It's a self hosted DNS that you can easily run on a raspberry pi
