2006-10-08 Privacy Or Functionality

I’ve installed the Tor client on my laptop (it came bundled with Privoxy and a GUI), and a Firefox plugin to switch it on or off. Surfing with Tor is incredibly sluggish. I don’t think I can do this.

“Am I a sell-out?”

Do you want an answer to that or is that a rhetorical question?

Well, I guess I want to know what *you* think about it, and the most objective way of doing that would be checking how you handle privacy issues on the web:

1. Do you surf via an anonymizer? I assume nobody does, but who knows. I guess I still don’t.

2. Do you use Email services from one of the big corps? I know most of you do. I do.

3. Do you store your pictures on one of the sites by the big corps? I know most of you do. I have tried them, but I’m still using my own site.

4. Do you blog on one of the big corp sites? I know some of you do. I don’t.

Stuff like that. ;)
