Re: Anonymity

I'm not sure what kind of anonymity you are looking for.

If you are on WiFi, then anybody nearby can detect your signal. Depending on the WiFi security they might also be able to see the content of some of your packets.

If you do something to raise the suspicions of the police, and they check your computer, then they can find your browsing history and cache unless you set your browser to auto-delete that on close.

If you plan on using a proxy to hide your IP, be aware that the people who run the proxy have access to your IP information.
