TorProject.org for private Internet browsing on home computers is a good start. Slower than regular browsers but 'anonymous'.

And... other than the auto-delete function, which should not be all that difficult to add for any file with a simple scriptfile I would think, this is better than PGP/GPG exactly how?

Two points:

1. Even if the govt. could crack this wouldn’t they make noise and make it seem like they couldn’t?
2. There’s a very high bar for normal people using encryption - I think it’s because of the old “I’ve got nothing to hide”. Yet no one would think twice about using a letter and an envelope as opposed to a postcard. Ideally people would use encryption in the same way as they would put a letter in an envelope. That would have the advantage of encrypted messages not looking like they stood out.

Governments pushing for more snooping powers, however, will not be pleased.

There are exceptions, but usually anything that displeases the goobermint is more than likely a good thing. Their choice. They could choose to be in favor of good things and against bad things, if they don't want people thinking things like that about them.
