Custom router firmware. There's probably something better now, but I like Tomatoware.
With custom firmware, you can do fun things like actually have your router itself connect to your VPN any way you want it to, so you don't have to worry about your individual computers/phones/devices somehow blowing your privacy.
Also it amuses me to play Nethack on the router itself.
Plus with nearly infinite control over everything, you can cap that dickhead roommate's porn torrenting so it doesn't fuck up your own activities. (You can do this with most routers already anyway but Tomatoware makes it a lot easier to do it more subtly.)

Not really. You're still connected to the device through the Play Store, and even if you remove your Google account entirely, there's still some data collection going on.
If you're serious about getting away from Google, your best bet is an android device without GApps. Some chinese phones aren't licensed by Google, or you can opt not to install that package during a custom ROM install. You'll have to sideload all apps, but that's not too painful.

None of those articles address the fact Windows 10 will automatically re-enable those features the next time you log into or restart your PC, adds new spying features with updates, or just makes some plain impossible to disable. The only way to be sure is to block the phone home servers in your firewall but the IPs change for those all the time apparently. If you use Win 10 you're fucked regardless.

Then the best option would be to move on to Linux or Ubuntu, or use Windows 7, really good operating system that Microsoft seemed to have stopped supporting.

Just an update if anyone gives a fuck: I had a PSU issue a while ago and had to replace it. There was only one store in my town that sells PSU's and I went with the only model there which was a cheapie 550 Watt. My previous PSU was a 600 Watt. I installed it and everything is okay. I then go to play a game and notice some slowdown when exiting the game. I also notice performance issues with watching YT.
I also had that weird issue I listed above.
I swapped out the PSU with another one that just came in and the problem is gone. I did however experience a frozen tab when I tried moving one tab to another window. So Brave isn't a flawless experience but I do like it right now. Thanks Null.

check this shit out
https://github.com/TambourineReindeer/BlockWindows/blob/master/hosts-dnsmasq
you put that list on a router with DNSMasq on the firmware and you're golden. any router that DD-WRT firmware supports can potentially do this

No. My older PSU died and the temp one I bought just wasn't powerful enough for YT and to play certain games. My new 850 Watt has had no problems so far (knock on wood).

You could have tried swapping out the GPU for something a little less thirsty, but getting a real PSU was probably the right move.

this is technically possible with the developer version of firefox through installing a legacy extension after enabling the capability to do so in about:config
unfortunately it seems like the only addon that will work that has this feature is 'Tab Mix Plus', which is a rather huge feature set that will not work quite right with Quantum
there's three alternatives:
- TabScroller, which does this when you hold the right mouse button down over the page and then scroll.
- Taking the code for doing so directly from the Tab Mix Plus codebase and making your own Firefox XUL extension out of it, installing it the same way as described above
- Using a rather simple AutoHotkey script.
Code:
#IfWinActive, ahk_class MozillaWindowClass
~WheelDown::
CoordMode, Mouse, Window
MouseGetPos xpos, ypos
if (ypos < 41) {
SendInput ^{PgDn}
} return
~WheelUp::
CoordMode, Mouse, Window
MouseGetPos xpos, ypos
if (ypos < 41) {
SendInput ^{PgUp}
} return- #IfWinActive makes sure it's only doing this shit in a 'Firefox-class' window.
- ~WheelDown represents an input, tilde means that AutoHotkey doesn't 'contain' the input and it still goes through, but also executes the code beneath it.
- CoordMode, Mouse configures whether the coordinates of the MouseGetPos command are relative to the entire screen or the window. We want window.
- MouseGetPos gets the position of your cursor (relative to the Firefox window, thanks to CoordMode) and saves it to variables.
- if (ypos < 41) designates that the cursor has to have been detected in the top 41 pixels based on its internal resolution, it's not usually exact relative to your screen resolution. Can be adjusted.
- SendInput is sending an input that causes the tab to scroll, it is a default Firefox keyboard shortcut.
You can get AutoHotkey from here: https://autohotkey.com/
You can download a script I made from here: https://p.ahkscript.org/?p=1eb3adac It probably won't steal your bitcoins.

So all that does it remove the ads?
You mean like if you blocked ads in hosts, like all the cool kids do, instead of using awful Adblock shit?

It blocks all Ads in my experience, and if it cannot block an Ad then it will simply mute Spotify until the Ad is over. (Which has never happened to me)
