Protect Your Privacy on the Web

I couldn’t help but notice how smart a lot of my visitors are.  A full 54% of you are using a browser other than Internet Explorer, with 45% of you choosing Firefox.  For those of you with Firefox, I’ve got a tip.

Run, don’t walk, and download the TrackMeNot plugin.  This plugin sends random searches to Google, MSN, AOL, and Yahoo.  You don’t see the results of these searches though.  If you haven’t figured out how it works, determining which searches are yours are much like finding Where’s Waldo - except that they have no way of knowing what’s real and what’s fake.  Essentially the search engines think they know so much about you that they really know nothing.
