For those concerned about your movements on the internet being tracked...
I added this free program to all my browsers yesterday afternoon and at this point the program has blocked 819 attempts at tracking my movements using Firefox, and 3 in IE (I seldom use IE anymore and only visited one site using it since installing the program).
If you are interested the link for it is http://www.donottrackplus.com
Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with this program in any way, nor am I endorsing it...you can judge if it is beneficial to you.
Hint: To install in more than one browser you need to open each browser and download and install through the open browser.
Cornell,
Thanks for the info. I installed it and was shown it blocked 16 trackers. It did let 2 ad networks stay tracking me. I tried learning why it did that by clicking in the box that comes up when you click on their icon but it wasn't very helpful.
I'll run it for a few days and see what it serves up. Looks good at this point but we'll see what we'll see after it runs for a few more days.
