I have a setup similar to this. I use chromium on my main user for |
| 13 |
gmail and other services that I often use and I want to stay logged |
| 14 |
in. Main difference is that I have another user just for browsing |
| 15 |
everything else. |

I used to have simply another firefox profile on my main user, but |
| 18 |
recently I decided to set a completely different user for what *I'd |
| 19 |
like to be* "safe browsing". On this user I use Firefox with NoScript, |
| 20 |
Flashblock, AdBlocker, plus it is set up to be in "incognito mode" by |
| 21 |
default. The Flash cache is disabled also. With this user I do not |
| 22 |
login in any site. I'm sick of all these policies about tracking users |
| 23 |
and this constant siege to privacy. For this very reason I don't have |
| 24 |
a facebook profile. I used to trust Google, but in recent years has |
| 25 |
become increasingly intrusive. |

Maybe slightly OT, but what do gentoo-users think about Tor? |
