You are still stuck in your filter bubble, but you are already using a number of methods to try to make it burst. Keep it up! Simply follow these guidelines …
1 use different search engines
Google stores your information and creates a tracking profile. Use different search engines, such as DuckDuckGo, MetaGer, Gexsi, Qwant, Startpage or Ecosia. Safety, privacy and no tracking are of primary importance to those search engines.2 disable personalised ads for apps
3 delete cookies
Cookies are files stored by web sites which contain information such as personal page settings.4 surf the web anonymously
Private browsing prevents your browser history from being stored, thus making your online movements untraceable. Also, search box entries, passwords, downloads and – most notably – cookies are not stored on your device. However, internet providers and websites can still track your activity.5 clear the cache
The cache is the buffer memory on a PC. If you want to erase your movements in your web browser, you should clear it regularly.6 explore alternative apps
Use Forgotify as an alternative to Spotify or YouTube. It will help you discover music that others don’t listen to and that is not classified by the number of clicks.7 enable the ‘Do not track’ option in your web browser
Tell web sites not to track your web activities.8 use anti-tracking software
Browser-Add-Ons like Privacy Badger notify you about trackers and allow you to block them: www.eff.org/privacybadger9 like inconvenient content
From time to time, you should ‘like’ content that you don’t particularly like. As a matter of fact, in order to trick the algorithm, you sometimes need to put up with disagreeable or offensive comments, contributions and users. In doing so, you are actively countering a selective perception.10 open up your interests
Another way of broadening your horizon is to watch films and documentaries on Netflix or YouTube that you would not normally watch.
