Use firefox with "pocket" dfisabled, and with addons for security, privacy, browsing experience, etc.
Don't save your passwords on a plaintext or in some "cloud" service like lastpass, create and remember one good main password and use KeePassX (and I mean the one with an X) that has the option to generate the rest.

Use GNU/Linux. Start with Lubuntu for easy mode (stay away from something called BSD, is suspected to leave backdoors open).
Use a GNU/Linux distro free from "systemd", which is suspected to be the last resort of secret agencies to implant a backdoor on "hacker friendly" operating systems.
---Begins to cost money from here---

Buy a VPN service in some privacy friendly country.
---End of money cost---

Replace your e-mail provider with a more safe, more appropriate provider, or use Exim in your own server for e-mail.
Use YaCy with collaborative database disable when in need to search the web.
Tunnel all your communications through i2p, not Tor, to navigate internet.
