Annette, I've had similar experiences! Not even talking to someone, just seemingly thinking about something! Now, I know (hope?!) they're not reading my brain waves, and maybe I did type something related somewhere, but it sure wasn't on FB! The buggers.
Like many here, I've tightened my privacy ship for some time now: Brave browser is fast and very private, even on Mac, I use StartPage for search and/or DuckDuckGo, and I use a VPN to connect my computer to the internet. The VPN has not been entirely smooth, but so far, the simplest has been WARP by CloudFlare, a company I trust. They a simpler choice to just speed up your page load times: look up 1.1.1.1 A bit nerdy, but again, simple and you can see the speed pick up once they are your DNS.
