How to reclaim your privacy on the internet

Image via Wikipedia

Here are some things you can do to maintain your privacy and anonymity on the internet.

Use Scroogle, a scraper that queries google for you without using cookies or recording your IP address and search terms: Install the Scroogle SSL option for your Firefox search bar
Don't use Google's new browser: Chrome
Surf anonymously with JonDo, a proxy for your browser
Tor is also another anonymous proxy service
Use JonDo in combination with FoxyProxy to manage which URLs go through proxies
Install Poxy on your own webserver for a web-based proxy
Use Cookie Monster to manage cookies from websites (Firefox plugin)
Encrypt emails with FireGPG
If you use Gmail, enable SSL encryption by going to settings and enable 'always use https' at the bottom
