Don't know if it's possible at home. Even TOR is now monitored by the government, I believe in exchange for funding. You could try a VPN but those don't work as well because you regular browser still releases fingerprints. You could also make your own connection and possibly browser, using some kind of proxy or VPN to conceal your fingerprints.
The easiest thing to do would be to just use public internet. And make sure you use their devices as well, otherwise you could still be traced. Unfortunately people could still be watching you, or go back and watch footage of who was on a computer and when.

I guess the best way to be anonymous is to just not use the internet and go off-grid.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't digital finger prints based off of how unique the user activity is? I.e if you go on specific websites everyday, use less-common addons, etc etc - it jeaporidizes your anonymity right?

They can use that data if they collect it but fingerprints come from your browser and device information if I'm not mistaken.

There was some kind of device posted in the last few days that supposedly 'intercepts' data leakage before it hits your router. I believe it's based on that raspberry pi device. The story was about how the actual software is free now.
