ciao a tutti,
navigando qua e la mi sono inbattuto in questa estensione per firefox

http://mrl.nyu.edu/~dhowe/TrackMeNot/

TrackMeNot runs in Firefox as a low-priority background process that
periodically issues randomized search-queries to popular search
engines, e.g., AOL, Yahoo!, Google, and MSN. It hides users' actual
search trails in a cloud of indistinguishable 'ghost' queries, making
it difficult, if not impossible, to aggregate such data into accurate
or identifying user profiles. TrackMeNot integrates into the Firefox
'Tools' menu and includes a variety of user-configurable options." I
don't know if this will foil determined adversaries, but it seems like
a sharp idea



che ne pensate?
