VPNs like NordVPN for almost everyone.
"Almost everyone" seems a bit broad. Lots of people watch porn and illegally download stuff that they don't want their ISP to know about, especially in countries like the USA where ISPs are allowed to sell browsing statistics of their customers for marketing purposes.
I take offence to the "protect against hackers" bullshit those ads keep repeating, but for their intended purpose, VPNs are a good solution.
Your ISP selling your browsing data is the hacker.
