2. Ghostery
3. None
4. Private Internet Access
5. HTTPS Everywhere

.....And I still think Privacy doesn't exist on the internet.

It doesn't exist, but you can make the easier stuff a bit less troublesome. I was under the impression that Disconnect has changed quite a bit and now may even be a paid thing? Ghostery will always have suspicion over their heads due to the way they've worked with advertisers before. Then again, hell ABP allows you to pay them to avoid their blocking, so, yeah.

Duck duck go is not needed disconnect search uses google with their proxy servers so you cant be tracked
Also Im not 100% sure but PIA sure as hell cant offer logless servers in the US. The us doesn't have a data retention law but they dont have the $ or the time to have logless us servers

Neither do I, but implementing measures to minimize vulnerabilities, even it only closes the door partway, is better than leaving the door wide open.

To be honest I really dont care if ghostery worked with advertisers they can track my ip all they want at the end of the day im logging off and when I get back on I get a new ip. Granted it is in the same ip range but I still dont care

I believe privacy exists only the internet but only with things like the tailsos etc. but you can still be caught red handed if the feds are at your door you can still get cool-boot attacked if you dont shut off your pc.
Or you can be even more of an idiot like the owner of the silkroad on tor and announce "I own a website where you can buy drugs"

 

[comfortablynumb15]

Silk Road was going to go down no matter how public they got. Informers and moles are in every criminal organization, plus FreedomHosting had had a nuke aimed at it for years. When you're keeping company with LolitaCity, OPVA and others like it, you're going to get nailed sooner or later. Hell, just typing those names probably gets you on a watch list.

Yeah thats really true on HF I heard that alot of vpn providers even ones that dont log have fbi agents as staff wow Obama thanks buddy just thanks

DuckDuckGo is a good choice still, but I'll give Disconnect Search a go and see how it is.



I do believe PIA doesn't keep any logs whatsoever, but only the employees would truly be the only ones that know it doesn't. I'm basically trusting their word, I have seen another less-popular VPN get exposed by a former exployee and he stated that they keep logs even though they said they didn't.

You have to watch the country too. Switzerland is somewhat safe, provided you don't get too out of hand. Sweden will roll over without hesitation. Same with the Dutch, Germany, and some others.

try out dnscrypt by opendns which encrypts your dns traffic I find its pretty good especially at prevent MITM attacks unfortunately its CPU usage isnt the best on my I5-4690k at 4.4GHz it runs at 4-5%

Some drugs are only illegal because the Goverment doesn't get any taxes on it.

.....But selling them online poses a huge risk for the owners/operators.

DuckDuckGo
uBlock
HTTPS Everywhere

This is what i use.

Another good part about disconnect search is that it removes all the google adsense crap too.
I like duckduckgo and all but still which has a larger user base and a better search engine result google. I am forced to use it because when I forget it I can use search engine optimization techniques like keywords to quickly find the page etc. Duckduckgo unfortunately doesn't work as well for that :/

 

[comfortablynumb15]

Yeah Duck has some usability issues for sure. They're trying, and they are good for general use. The problem is they still use Google, so although you aren't being tracked, you're still being censored.

 

[comfortablynumb15]

Oh, be wary of using default NoScript as well, because they intentionally allow Google to sail on through, Javascript and all.

 

[DoxThis]

I use
Ad block plus
Ghostery
Disconnect
HTMLify (prevent flash exploits catching your real ip)
Google Translate for anime sites that sub but dont translate their own pages
HTTPS Everywhere
Lounge Destroyer
Tamper Monkey
Vanilla Cookie manager (Destroys only select cookies lets you add sites to whitelist so you dont ever have to reinput passwords, usually)
WOT
OpenSec Try out this http://malwaretips.com/posts/396355/ Its a script that prevents sites from disabling/detecting ublock and ABP

Be sure to click "reply" if you're talking to a specific member.

I'm trying to use Disconnect Search but it doesn't seem to work for me? I am literally lost, can you give some instructions?

I have installed the extension and have tried using the web version but that doesn't seem to work.

Yes this is very true I read some articles about a year ago on how you cannot use them on tor etc. because they just blacklisted all tor nodes for searches etc. They also block searches like "Child porn" etc.
