Post subject: | Breaking Free Of Internet Tracking |
For some time now, I've been on a casual mission to eliminate the data I inadvertently give to corporates. I thought I'd share my current style and see what others do, and what they think of my plan.
Effectively I sandbox the two big evils (and their cookies) away from my daily browsing should adblock plus not live up to its promises. (bound to happen some time) The extra benefit is that both google and facebook are heavy javascript/memory users, and by isolating them in this way, I can keep my main FF instance responsive and lean and easily kill/restart the bad boys without losing state and reloading hundreds of tabs. Should you have more than one account of any single-sign-on type (google, facebook, github, and others) it's easy to spin up a new ff instance to use in parallel with them. On top of this, I also run the flashblock plugin to prevent autonomous use of my audio and other resources, though the need for this is slowly fading and eventually I'll simply not run the flash plugin at all. Thoughts? :-) Fred. |
