Except for when you don’t, like by default here on Free Republic, all of your page views are recorded by Google.

Likewise, all of the pages that have a YouTube video embedded, Google knows the page you viewed when that IP address came through.

You CAN be anonymous. It takes a minimal amount of work and knowledge

Starting point?

Just reading the story of how Scroogle started and the “other” guy stating that Google is full of Dumocraps..

I’ve used proxies occassionally when I DL by bittorrent..er, I mean, the neighbor kid says he does it when he donwloads by bittorrent. Apps like Hide My Ip works but slows your system but you can change your IP address easy. Youtube it..

actually I heard that you can configure google as a very simple proxy; What do you think of this? It might be worth a try.

Starting point?

Proxy.
Mail (hushmail, mailvault, ziplip etc.)
More mail: don't get stuck with one mail address, and keep no backlink.
Handles: don't use one handle all over the place, and don't connect them to mail. Style: change.
Posting pictures: apart from the obvious hosting track, you may post stuff that gives your identity away. If you look back a bit, you'll find pics I have posted that show a full screenshot, showing the menu of links I use often. If I was concerned with hiding, that wouldn't happen. That sort of knowledge will let someone with a warrant track use patterns.

Just a start, but it should be enough.

Careful...the Pillory Police will visit your house and find some cheap scissors you purchased that were made in China...:)

>”cheap scissors you purchased that were made in China”

hehehe. Least of my worries. Behind my garage, I have 22 Illegal Mexicans living in a ‘73 Monte Carlo.

Okay. That made me spit out my soft drink...if they have cheesy chinese manufactured scissors too, then you have stepped in it!
