+12 Simple Tools to Protect Your Privacy
 ======
 
-数据是最宝贵的一项资产。
+Data is one of the most valuable assets available.
 
-无论影响好坏，数据收集技术都会一直存在。现实生活中，人们进行分析、研究以及学习，都需要各种各样的数据。
+For better or worse, data collection techniques aren’t going anywhere. To be practical, we need all sorts of data to analyze, study, and learn about things.
 
-当然，数据收集也会带来风险，比如不法机构会收集用户的浏览数据（或网络活动）。
+Of course, it also brings in the risk of exploiting the data collected, such as malicious agencies getting hold of your browsing data (or internet activity).
 
-匿名数据收集等技术虽然在不断发展，但在隐私保护这方面可能做的并不是十分完善。
+While data collection methods have improved over time (like anonymous collection practices), they may not be entirely privacy-friendly.
 
-不过先别担心，保护好自己的隐私并不是件难事。
+Fret not, you do not need to be an expert to protect your privacy.
 
-一些简洁的软件可以在不影响用户体验的前提下，增强用户的隐私保护。更重要的是，搞明白这些软件，你根本不需要着急花大把的时间。
+There are some simple tools to enhance your privacy, without compromising the user experience. And, the best thing—you do not need to waste time to research these options like there’s no tomorrow.
 
-本文将会推荐一些简洁的软件，可以轻松保护你的网络隐私。
+Here, I highlight such simple tools to guard your online privacy easily.
 
-### **一些增强隐私保护的简洁软件**
+### **Basic Tools to Step Up Your Online Privacy**
 
-保护数据安全最有效的办法就是，关注你使用频率最高的产品。
+The best way to protect your data is to focus on the options that you interact with the most.
 
-担心数据安全是必要的，但不能顾此失彼，忘记产品最基本的用途。
+While you have to right to be paranoid, you shouldn’t forget the practical use-cases.
 
-比如，你使用一款去中心化的社交软件，但是你的亲朋好友都不去用它，他们大多时候还是使用WhatsApp。那么，你的这种做法就没有任何意义。
+For instance, it is useless to opt for a decentralized messenger that none of your friends/family uses and end up using WhatsApp most of the time.
 
-因此，我们在这里列出了一些非常简明易用的软件，并将它们归为以下几类：
+Hence, we list some of the options that you can easily try without making any special efforts, categorizing them as:
 
-  * [网页浏览器][1]
-  * [VPN服务][2]
-  * [搜索引擎][3]
-  * [社交软件][4]
-  * [操作系统][5]
-  * [密码管理][6]

-### 使用私人搜索引擎，确保网络活动的安全
+### Private Search Engines to Keep Your Internet Activity Safe
 
-网上浏览信息会透露你的身份和工作。

-### 使用安全的社交软件，保护聊天隐私
+### Secure Messenger to Protect Your Conversations
 
-无论是政府还是软件本身，如果你不想别人在未经同意下获取你的聊天记录，你需要使用具有隐私保护功能的社交软件。
+Whether it’s the government or the app itself, if you want no one to access your conversations except the intended recipient, private messengers should help.
 
-尽管大多数用户选择信赖WhatsApp，但是它并不是最有效的隐私保护解决方案。当然，Facebook Messenger就更不用考虑了。
+While most of the users swear by WhatsApp, it is not the most privacy-friendly solution. And, yes, Facebook Messenger is not even an option to consider.

-### 选择可靠的密码管理器，保护账号安全
+### Password Manager to Secure Accounts
 
-如果不法分子可以轻易获取你的账户信息，那么就算你准备再多的隐私措施，也无济于事。
+No amount of privacy measures will do any good if an attacker can easily access any of your online accounts.
 
-因此，你必须设置更强大、更复杂的密码。此外，要想做到这些，必须先有密码管理器。
+So, you must generate stronger and more complex passwords. And, without a password manager, it is tough to do that.
 
-[Linux 上最好的密码管理器][42]，我建议使用下面这个:
+Among the [best password managers for Linux][42], I’ll suggest using this:

-### 总结
+### Wrapping Up
 
-专注隐私保护的软件有很多，数不胜数。
+There’s no end to the number of privacy-focused options available.
 
-但是，很多都只是打着“隐私保护”的幌子，实际上不过是营销噱头；还有一些则根本无法使用。
+After all, a major chunk of those just use “privacy” as a marketing gimmick or end up being unusable for end-users.
 
-所以，坚持使用那些自己用过的、适合自己的软件，才是比较好的选择。
+So, it is better to stick with some tried and tested services to use what works best for you.
