Looking for alternative programs/services with better privacy.

Eventually I want all my online activity to be encrypted and private so I'd like to ask what everyone uses to stay private online. Right now I'm still using Gmail which I know isn't private at all and I'd like to ask if anyone knows of any email service that is better in terms of privacy.

Also I'd like to know if there is any options for private IMing programs that I could use as well.

Edit: So far I have just made a minor step by moving to Waterfox from Chrome and installed Ghostery and Adblock.

Hmm...
Get a VPN

I've used this one on my iDevices as well as my MacBook and it works perfectly (the free version has a data cap, but I haven't used it enough to reach it yet). They have a version for Windows, too.

How much is the Data cap? I may use it on my Phones because that's where I browse the most.

Here's what you do (I did this and it gave me a 3GB cap):

Sign up (use that link plox) on your first device. Then use the "share" feature to send your other devices links. Sign up on dummy accounts with those and your main account gets 500MB for each one (as opposed to 250MB for linking multiple devices [up to 5]).

Then, when you're done and have plenty of 500MB chunks added to your cap, you can sign in using your main account on each of your devices to get another 250MB.

Or, y'know, pay for a VPN. But that's lame.

EDIT: it's like 500MB to start with.

Does the cap reset or is it just a hard cap?

Edit: I'm an idiot, it stays it resets every month.

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that. Yeah, it's the regular monthly cap.

Using TOR is a red flag and is more than likely going to make my life less private.
