Is there an easy to use anonymizer that produces results closer to the google browser searches? obviously they won't be identical as the browser search uses information relating to each individual (when it can)... but I am looking for something close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-8865271223955300022012-02-02T17:14:29.150-05:002012-02-02T17:14:29.150-05:00Anon - to begin with, don't expect the anonymi...Anon - to begin with, don't expect the anonymizers to protect you from Fed.gov. They still have a way to copy every packet that gets sent on the Internet and store it off in a disk farm somewhere and then sic the keyword searches on it. The anonymizers will strip your IP address from web searches, but have no way I know of to handle email, say. They specifically will hobble tracking us for places like the advertisers that use Google. <br /><br />In light of how the Fed.gov has unlimited funds and unlimited ability to lean on service providers, I always assume they're listening. If you want privacy, it's best to encode or encrypt.SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-92030333349538656782012-02-02T07:47:30.566-05:002012-02-02T07:47:30.566-05:00I wonder how many of these anonymizers are false f...I wonder how many of these anonymizers are false flag.
