I’m a huge book lover. I love bright colors, art, travel, photography, good music and delicious food!Tumblr (3.0; @bookworm99)http://bookworm99.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8tii2WehH1r4vpxio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://anarcho-queer.tumblr.com/post/29508154521">anarcho-queer</a>:</p> <blockquote> <div id="yass_top_edge_dummy"></div> <div id="yass_top_edge"></div> <h3><strong>Reasons to quit Google:</strong></h3> <ul><li>Last week, WikiLeaks <a href="http://anarcho-queer.tumblr.com/post/29163104368">blew the whistle</a> on the global surveillance program called ‘Trapwire’. They also revealed that <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/google-salesforce-were-allegedly-offered-trapwire-spy-tool-7000002505/">Google was offered a contract with Trapwire</a>. </li> <li>A few months ago, <a href="http://anarcho-queer.tumblr.com/post/22160349631">Google admitted</a> to helping craft the censorship bill, <a href="http://anarcho-queer.tumblr.com/tagged/CISPA">CISPA</a>.</li> <li><a href="http://anarcho-queer.tumblr.com/post/22177568458">Google was fined $25,000</a> earlier this year for stealing private information from unprotected wifi connections.</li> </ul><h3><strong>How To Quit Google<br/></strong></h3> <p><strong>1. Avoid using Google products</strong></p> <p>With Youtube, Picaso, Gmail and other products offered by Google, it may be hard for some Google addicts to abandon the web giant. Fortunately, <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5876794/going-google+free-the-best-alternatives-to-google-services-on-the-web">we have a list of alternatives services</a>.</p> <p><strong>2. Stop using Google’s web search</strong></p> <p>Google tracks your searches, before long, the web company will know you better than you know yourself. If you value your privacy, ditch Google for a search engine that doesn’t spy on you. The best web search that is comparable to Google’s ability and still protects your privacy is <a href="http://duckduckgo.com">DuckDuckGo.com</a>. The only downside is that you have to use Bing! or Google through an encrypted proxy to search images.</p> <p>Add DuckDuckGo to your search bar:</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/duck-duck-go-ssl/">Firefox</a>/<a href="http://safariextensions.tumblr.com/post/871518433/post-duckduckgo-search-bar-07-28-10">Safari</a></p> <p><strong>3. Stop letting Google passively track you on the web</strong></p> <p>The first step to doing this is to block their cookie <strong>which has an expiration of 30 YEARS</strong>. The best tool is an add-on called “Cookie Monster”. With Cookie Monster, you can block the Google cookie. If you must log into Youtube or Gmail, you can temporarily disable the add-on.</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookie-monster/">Firefox </a></p> <p>The next step is to block Google’s tracker, many sites have GoogleAnalytics/Adsense. The best way to block the tracker is to use another add-on called “Ghostery”. Ghostery not only blocks GoogleAnalytics/Adsense, it blocks every other offsite trackers, including Facebook and Twitter.</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ghostery/">Firefox</a>/<a href="http://addons.opera.com/extensions/details/ghostery/">Opera</a></p> <p>Block all Google ads, this can be done by using the add-on, “Adblockplus”</p> <p><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/">Firefox</a>/<a href="https://addons.opera.com/extensions/details/opera-adblock/">Opera</a></p> <div id="yass_bottom_edge"></div> <div id="yass_bottom_edge"></div> </blockquote>http://bookworm99.tumblr.com/post/29534545181http://bookworm99.tumblr.com/post/29534545181Thu, 16 Aug 2012 08:10:18 +0300<p>Woke up from a dream.
