| Ancient News Hi team! I have been jousting with Mozilla/FF forever since it was obvious FF was collecting data on many levels with a multitude of information. I was banned from Mozillazine numerous times and they even tried to re-program the sign-in process to keep me out. I then, like others, learned how to "adjust" FF(iceweasel, since I'm on sidux), to remove any links to the outside world. I won't bore you with the particulars since most don't seem to care. The fact that they now are overtly saying they will keep track of what they have always done is not surprising. They have been emboldened by the lack of consumer awareness. For the truly paranoid there is JonDoFox. As has been mentioned already, most of the data gathered can be wildly inaccurate unless there is one person only, using one computer only, on one dialup line only, etc. So if you truly don't care, make sure you insert a unique IP address and cookies whenever you use a computer anywhere. I'm actually working on it! I guess it's the counter-measures training I had in the military. You know, my awesomely armed jet looks like a wandering seagull on radar.  |
