This post like all of my posts are several years out of date.
Use the Tor Browser, or a VPN preferably a paid one.
You can also use a browser like Librewolf that is a bit more hardened than Firefox or Chrome.
If you are really worried about privacy there are a few things you can do including:
Use the Adblock Plus extension for Firefox and use the
Easy Privacy list as well as the Antisocial list.
This list blocks the ever increasing social networking content on third-party sites.
Use a hosts file to block the multitude of clicktrackers
If you want to do the same thing without having the hosts file slowdown, dnsmasq offers similar functionality and it seems to be pretty snappy. Also, it allows you to use DNS for your LAN to boot!
Use Tor
Use a VPN, Linux VPN Masquerade HOWTO: Background Knowledge
Do not accept 3rd party cookies.
Use moblock/Peerguardian http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/

Encrypt your web browsing session (with an SSH SOCKS proxy)
Anonymizing Google's cookie
Do not use Google to search, instead use ixquick or duckduckgo or Startpage Search Engine. Or at the very least use the new Google SSL search.
There are several extensions for Firefox that can help to block the junk on the Internet.
Extensions to block crap or to get rid of it that I use:
- Adblock Plus
- Adblock Plus: Element Hiding Helper
- BetterPrivacy
- Cookie Monster
- Flashblock
- NoScript
- Hide My Ass Proxy Extension
- HTTPS-Everywhere
- HTTPS Finder
- Ghostery
- GoogleSharing
- Open in Private Browsing Mode
- QuickJava
- QuickProxy
Also for Firefox there are a few things you can tweak either in about:config or by creating a user.js.
Firefox makes unrequested connections http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/...ed+connections
If you use Chrome/Chromium you can add the Google SSL page as the default search.
Basic Rule: Always browse in "Private Mode" so that fewer traces of your web history remain on your HDD. Opera,Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer all include a form of Private Browsing.

Off-the-Record Messaging
Quote:
Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging by providing:
Encryption
No one else can read your instant messages.
Authentication
You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
Deniability
The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.
Perfect forward secrecy
If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is compromised.

HTTPS Everywhere | Electronic Frontier Foundation - https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
Quote:
HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project and the Electronic Frontier Foundation. It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.
Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.
The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.

Freenet is free software which lets you anonymously share files, browse and publish "freesites" (web sites accessible only through Freenet) and chat on forums, without fear of censorship. Freenet is decentralised to make it less vulnerable to attack, and if used in "darknet" mode, where users only connect to their friends, is very difficult to detect.

A couple of Google Chrome extensions:
Do Not Track Plus : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/d...hrome-ntp-icon
Quote:Do Not Track Plus blocks web beacons and other tracking technologies that advertisers use to track your browsing behavior. Easily see what trackers are in use at each website you visit and block any or all of them.
Quote:Abine TACO sets all the NAI opt-out cookies to stop advertisers from delivering content based on their attempts to profile you and your online behavior. At each website you visit TACO can show you how many and which advertising networks you've opted-out of.
This Chrome extension sets a number of permanent, generic, non personally
identifiable opt-out cookies in the browser, which will prevent over 100 different online advertising networks from subjecting users to behavioral advertising (and in some cases, will stop the networks from being able to track users' web browsing habits too).

Quote:Why DNSCrypt is so significant
In the same way the SSL turns HTTP web traffic into HTTPS encrypted Web traffic, DNSCrypt turns regular DNS traffic into encrypted DNS traffic that is secure from eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks. It doesn't require any changes to domain names or how they work, it simply provides a method for securely encrypting communication between our customers and our DNS servers in our data centers.
DNSCrypt has the potential to be the most impactful advancement in Internet security since SSL, significantly improving every single Internet user's online security and privacy.
Quote:Here are the correct steps:
gedit /etc/init.d/dnscrypt.sh
Paste:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: dnscrypt
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: DNSCrypt for OpenDNS
# Description: Launch the dnscrypt to communicate with OpenDNS
### END INIT INFO
/usr/sbin/dnscrypt-proxy --daemonize
Save then:
cd /etc/init.d/
chmod +x dnscrypt.sh
update-rc.d dnscrypt.sh defaults
update-rc.d dnscrypt.sh enable
Configure your connection manager to use 127.0.0.1 as DNS and now it should work

RetroShare - http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/
Quote:RetroShare is a Open Source cross-platform, private and secure decentralised communication platform.
It lets you to securely chat and share files with your friends and family, using a web-of-trust to authenticate peers and OpenSSL to encrypt all communication.
RetroShare provides filesharing, chat, messages, forums and channels
Quote:RetroShare is the next generation sharing network, which provides:
Reliable Identification and Authentication of your friends.
Plus an Introduction Scheme which connects you to the friends of your friends, and facilitates network growth.
Encrypted Communication, ensuring all shared information is known only to you and your peers.
A Communication Platform which can potentially support services such as Secure Email, File Sharing, Streaming, Video or Voice over IP, Photos, Wall and Messaging
A Decentralised Social Sharing Network designed **For the People** with no dependancies on any corporate system or central servers.
Quote:You want to chat and share files securely with your friends
Only your friends will be able to see and download files that you share.
RetroShare is serverless, which means - unlike other messengers, you don't* need to register, complete annoying registration forms and receive tons of ads. Sending a key to your friend by e-mail is enough to set up your own IM network. This also means no IM spam, because people you didn't invite absolutely cannot connect.
You can also use your favorite nick name either: no need to use cryptic names like "john.smith148@something.com" just because someone (whom you don't even know) snapped your favorite nick before you.
RetroShare is encrypted, meaning high privacy: nobody, including your
ISP, can see what files you're sharing.
You need secure instant messaging and files exchange for a small workgroup.
You need to chat securely and exchange files with other colleagues at work, but do not trust your data to a public chat network like Live or Google Chat ? Don't want a hassle of installing and maintaining your own chat server either ? Use RetroShare instead:
RetroShare is serverless , which means that no server, ever, gets to see your data. Any IM server, no matter how secure, poses a risk of data leak because of hacker's attack. Retroshare completely eliminates this security risk associated with the IM server, without any added costs.
RetroShare encrypts all connections, which means every bit of data is encrypted end-to-end. Unlike other products using self-made weak encryption, RetroShare uses a special version of industry standard Openssl library, trusted by banks and other organizations.
Absolutely no vendor lock-in: you own your RetroShare network. There is no 3rd party vendor whom you have to pay, or who may go out of business and force you to migrate to another product.

If you use Google apps and have an Android phoneiPhone or a BlackBerry you should setup 2-step verification.
How it works - https://support.google.com/accounts/...9588&ctx=topic
Quote:If you want to turn on 2-step verification and own a smartphone, we recommend you use the Google Authenticator app -- a mobile application available on Android devices, iPhones, and BlackBerry devices -- to generate verification codes. The application doesn't require an Internet connection, mobile service, or a data plan to generate verification codes.

Tribler secure p2p client
Quote:Tribler is a social community that facilitates filesharing through a peer-to-peer (p2p) network. A p2p network is different from a centralised service, where every user downloads his files from one central server. With p2p, the user/downloader is also an uploader to another user. This way, there is no central computer required that provides every file to all users.
Quote:Secure video calls, conferencing, chat, desktop sharing, file transfer, support for your favorite OS, and IM network. All this, and more, in Jitsi - the most complete and advanced open source communicator.

Use Torchat
Quote:Description-en: decentralized instant messenger built on top of the Tor Network
TorChat is a peer to peer instant messenger with a completely decentralized
design, built on top of Tor's location hidden services, providing strong
anonymity while being very easy to use
.
Top most relevant feature TorChat claims, above from text messaging and file
sending, rest on the difficulty someone would experiment trying to find out
where you are communicating from
.
In the condition someone might be observing you and sniff your internet traffic
connection, the person will find highly difficult to find out:
- Where your contacts are located
- To whom you are sending or receiving from
- What you send or receive, as everything is end-to-end encrypted
