AltaVista, a similiar history

The first search engine I used was HotBot back in 96/97 then I changed to Google the day it went public in 99 I think.

For more privacy, route your http traffic through Privoxy (68k version works on MorphOS too, it's called Glimmer Blocker for OSX) and use http://startpage.com along with the hosts file found at http://someonewhocares.org

If you use Firefox on your PC disable 3rd Party cookies and enable Do Not Track, also install these addons: Ghostery, Adblock Plus, BetterPrivacy, No script, Refcontrol, Collusion, Flashblock, Self-Destructing Cookies

Install this too: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere

Don't forget your tinfoil hat too!

I upgraded my phone firmware yesterday. Suddenly I have Chrome installed. I haven't used it so far.

If you need any help installing it just holler.

I remember when Chrome was new. I installed it on my PC and later the same day Chrome crashed and I uninstalled it and haven't used it since. I'm sure it's much, much better now but you remember first impressions.

I've stuck with Firefox since it was called Phoenix and later Firebird.

My loyalty has paid off as it now officially has the best performance of any browser.  It's addons are what kept me though.
