[NetBehaviour] Privacy/Tracking Browsing Plugins
Just thought I'd share some interesting plugins I've encountered since Ghostery has become utterly useless on my particular system due to some obscure bug affecting some users but not others. TrackMeNot: This Firefox/Chrome plugin uses noise to obfsucate by sending random queries to search engines thus your real searches get lost. Some users expressed concern the plugin was sending queries for pipebombs and porn. Others expressed accusations of fearmongering. It now has a blacklist where you can add search terms to avoid. ZenMate: Multi-Browser plugin encrypts your browsing and hides your IP address (via VPN with choice of five countries).
