There are two very good additions to your browser in this article (links to) that are worthy of every FReepers attention, and use.

FoxNews is behind the times.

A Do-Not-Track button is already available as an add-on for Firefox and IE.

The easy answer is never do anything that could bring you shame or legal issues from a computer than can be traced to you. Because no matter what silly buttons with no code behind them Google and MS put in their browsers your activity will ALWAYS be traceable back to the computer. So for those naughty things go use your co-workers’ machines.

But then they’ll track you as one who pressed the “Do not track” button!

Don’t forget WWW.PROXPN.COM, it’s free...

Also, if you go anywhere near google, be sure to scrub your history while you still can: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/why-you-might-want-to-delete-your-google-browser-history-before-next-week/

The "No Track" button would stop companies from using data about your Web browsing habits to customize ads for you.

Baloney.

All that "Do Not Track" does is add one measly header like this to each http request that is made:

       DNT: 1

Companies can easily ignore this header if they wish.

Indeed, I am already sending this header from this browser — you can check your current DNT status at http://dnt.mozilla.org/, and learn more about this silly gimmick.
