I use chromium on my main user for gmail and other services that I often use and I want to stay logged in. Main difference is that I have another user just for browsing everything else. I used to have simply another firefox profile on my main user, but recently I decided to set a completely different user for what *I'd like to be* "safe browsing". On this user I use Firefox with NoScript, Flashblock, AdBlocker, plus it is set up to be in "incognito mode" by default. The Flash cache is disabled also. With this user I do not login in any site. I'm sick of all these policies about tracking users and this constant siege to privacy. For this very reason I don't have a facebook profile. I used to trust Google, but in recent years has become increasingly intrusive. Maybe slightly OT, but what do gentoo-users think about Tor? Lorenzo -- Nothing is interesting if you're not interested.
