Privacy Solution of the Year
 

A new category last year. What is your preferred privacy solution?

GnuPG, simple habits and a little thoughtfulness cover most bases very well.

zbackup http://zbackup.org/

Trivial and "unixy" solution to security on USB pens.

Not sure it makes sense to add it to this poll, but I've added it to Backup Application of the Year.

Ok, fair enough...

Would "Pretty Easy Privacy" qualify to contend here?

Perhaps you might want to have a look...

As I have stated in another thread, Adguard not only blocks ads, but also trackers as Ghostery does, and selecting new elements to be blocked with the mouse is a piece o cake.

At this time, the target platforms seem to be Outlook, iOS and Android so it would not be eligible for inclusion in the MCA's.

True. I'm just working in a mixed environment, sorry for the lapse.

Consider making this poll a multiple choice. I use several of these, but I'll vote NoScript because browsing with javascript on is crazy. Die, javascript, die!

Actually TrueCrypt's officially dead....


From the ever informative LinuxVoice magazine's review of TrueCrypt descendent "CipherShed"....

Seconded!

Ghostery

GnuPG + Tor + Ghostery.
Anyway my vote is for Ghostery

As others already stated I use several of these together, so voting for just one doesn't really do it justice or make sense. It is such a broad category that it becomes unusable for anything more than trying to learn about new options. Though for that I am glad to see options especially around TrueCrypt replacements. I loved TrueCrypt but since the vulnerabilities were disclosed I have yet to find a viable replacement that I liked. Testing Veracrypt now for that as I recently learned about it. One in the password manager category that KeePass would be part of that I recently learned of is TeamPass. It seems much better than KeePass which I could never get working reliably, but is not as feature extensive if you want to add it to the list.

My recommendation would be to either remove this category or to break it out into 3 different ones - Cryptosoftware, Browser Privacy, and Password Management. It would still be broad, especially in Browser Privacy, but it would better break down to comparable solutions.
