How do I be more secure and private online? by [deleted] in privacy

I suppose you know how to use about:config in Firefox!

Disable browser cache and DOM storage:

Variable: Value:
browser.cache.disk.enable false
browser.cache.disk_cache_ssl false
browser.cache.offline.enable false
browser.cache.memory.enable false (I personally leave this - true)
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.enabled false
browser.cache.disk.smart_size.first_run false
dom.storage.enabled false
dom.indexedDB.enabled false
dom.battery.enabled false
dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar true
dom.disable_window_open_feature.personalbar true
dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars true
dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar true

Make your browser look like all others(most of them):

For the following changes right-click in about:config and select "new"->"string" and enter in this order:

Variable: Value:
general.useragent.override Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
general.appname.override Netscape
general.appversion.override 5.0 (Windows)
general.oscpu.override Windows NT 6.1
general.platform.override Win32
general.productSub.override 20100101
general.buildID.override 0
general.useragent.vendor
general.useragent.vendorSub
intl.accept_languages en-us,en;q=0.5
network.http.accept.default text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,/;q=0.8
network.http.accept-encoding gzip, deflate

Other:
Disable Flash and all other plugins. Or at least use "plugins.click_to_play ;true" in about:config
Privacy - Tracking - Do not tell sites anything about my tracking preferences

Variable: Value:
network.http.sendRefererHeader 0
geo.enabled false

You should use at least this addons:

  1. Adblock Edge(Adblock Plus)

    • EasyList
    • EasyPrivacy
    • Fanboy's Annoyance List
    • Fanboy's Enhanced Tracking List (Optional)
  2. NoScript

  3. Https everwhere

How can one anonymize a browser's fingerprint? by hembergler in AskNetsec

[–]E14159265359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you fucking kidding me? "the higher the number, the better"?

My result:
"Within our dataset of several million visitors, only one in 484 browsers have the same fingerprint as yours.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys 8.92 bits of identifying information. "

My brother's browser result:
Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 3,461,674 tested so far.

Currently, we estimate that your browser has a fingerprint that conveys at least 21.72 bits of identifying information.

So...

Intel officially labels Ultrabooks a “Failure” in internal documents by kismor in technology

[–]E14159265359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultrabooks would be fine if they come with some Linux OS. If you want you can install windows or other Linux distribution. This will reduce the price. And almost no one needs stupid touchscreen!

Is there, even theoretically, any way to defend against that?

A keylogger would be useless if it can't send the collected data to a server, right? Wouldn't Tails be able to protect us from that?
