It's really not worth the effort, just make your browser filter scripts, flash, ads and just be happy with that.
Perhaps have an alterego for your internet use

Wow. A lot of reading, will check it out later. I just want to try to
keep any logs on my internet activity as limited as possible. I just
think it is my business, and no one else's.
I have not yet checked out my ISP about what they log, will do so soon.
It can't hurt to use a VPN can it? I am just wondering if there is not
much point to it all.
