I use the following to help make me a little less tracked at least: https://adblockplus.org/en/firefox https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/change-referer-button/ - I enable the GUI button, which I left click to change states (it operates like a "traffic light") 0 -- Red Never send the Referer header or set document.referrer 1 -- Amber Send the Referer header when click on a link, and set document.referer for the following page 2 -- Green (default normal setting) Send the Referer header when clicking on a link or loading an image, and set document.referer for the following page - the GUI icon in the status bar helps to make sure I know the state. These states are able to be set directly using about:config too. https://disconnect.me http://noscript.net/ - this can make some websites painful, so you've got to unblock with care or quite the site. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/toggle-cookies/ - use right click to turn party hat on (3rd party cookies), but usually have them off. I find that referer header and 3rd party cookies can stop pages working, particularly if I want to post comments on sites. All of the above can make things harder than they should be, but this is what we need to do to lessen the privacy leak risks. The day we can start using TOR browser project all the time and not be slowed down, will be a great day, but with TOR you have limited Internet usage as there are things you can't easily do, like watch flash video content [yes, I know, wish flash wasn't around either, but it's here today and unfortunately, a relative essential]. I've had bugmenot as a plugin installed too, but I very rarely use it. I never sign in to any services via OATH (Facebook, Google, now Amazon too). The less they link details together, the better as far as I'm concerned. Cheers AndrewM
