A lot of things you can do have a fixed cost ie they won't affect your life at all in the long run, just once. If you download a new browser (firefox), change your search engine (to startpage, duckduckgo, etc.), install an ad/tracker blocker (ublock0, privacy badger). This won't result in a loss of convenience, it'll just take a few hours and then you can continue living your life exactly as before. Obviously, there are things you can do to protect your privacy further, but just doing this will be a huge net positive with no drawback.
