How do you become anonymous on the internet?

Um. To what degree? Use different online handles everywhere, or on a lower level?
Well true anonymity is gonna bake my noodle. With current finger printing technology and sheer vastness of advertising networks and linked parties it's neigh impossible. I guess you could set up a second-hand repair shop and only browse the internet from devices you repair, then wipe them and sell them off. Even then you'd likely have to connect to a different VPN each time. You'd probably need to use a browser like Tor or Brave or something which may help. You'd have to consider also have to connect to the internet through different ISP's on occasion - can't have all that secure traffic all heading specifically to your home or office, with your details on the bill. Pretty difficult and costly.
