More tips on how to stay safe on internet?

I just read many theads here on how to stay safe. To recap:
1) Don't open untrusted links
2) Don't open untrusted email/attachments
3) Have some common sense
4) Use Malwarebytes
5) Check for Windows updates

Do I know enough or is there something I'm still missing?

I have a person on Skype which I don't trust too much. Obviously I don't accept any file or click any link from him. But still: can he dangerous in some invisible way?
He can get my IP right? He can see which PC/Broswer I'm using?

Security Check
You should add to your list:

6) Don't use Skype.
What he could exactly by skype? And what could he do with my IP?

I never get files/links from him anyway..


Is it easy for someone to see the basic information of me via Skype for example?
For basic information I mean my browser+operating system
