Ask HN: How do you preserve individual browsing privacy in a household?

I'm receiving targeted ads and suggested content on my individual device related to searches that other family members recently made on their respective devices.

A typical household connects to a single router when accessing the Web. To the external world they will all share the same public IP address.

If I understand correctly, individuals are often tracked by their IP address, besides other identifiers. Which may be one possible cause.

How can I preserve the privacy of each family member and avoid the annoyance of ads and content being misattributed to other family members?
