Anyone else think there should be a DuckDuckGo of browsers that is similarly proactive about privacy? There way more ways than just cookies to track people nowadays and it's about time we implemented default behavior in the browser to block them. There's no reason to wait for Google or Mozilla to do it for us either.
- jdp23 16y agoExcellent point. There's a great opportunity for somebody enterprising to take the lead here and get a lot of press for it.
- markkat 16y agoI would use this, most definitely. Sign me up. I don't think Google or Mozilla would do it. I think an interesting option would be to have a "what you can know about me" table in the browser that you could fill out. Location, interests, etc. -Your web experience is customizable, but on your terms.
- cyrus_ 16y agoThe EFF has a plugin that uses SSL when available on a number of common websites (Google included): https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere. AdBlock will get rid of a lot of stuff (you will be depriving some sites of revenue, use the whitelist if you respect the site.) There are a few other privacy-related add-ons that I don't have experience with too.
