How to navigate leaving a job for another company?

I received a much better offer from a company and I will be accepting it but don’t know the best way to tell my boss.

I want to avoid disclosing the name of the company although I guess it doesn’t matter as he and I follow each other on LinkedIn so he will find out either way. But I simply do not see any possibility that he could match the benefits nor salary to what I’ve received.

Should I atleast try to have him give me a counteroffer or just accept the offer I’ve received? I’m leaning towards accepting but I don’t want him to take it the wrong way.
