anything but google as a browser. opt out of google's data mining. confound them. I let my Japanese mother listen to music on my computer. WW2 era music. And if all else fails, click on stupid ass links in between normal ones. I read a hardhitting article about OWS, I click on a kim kardashian link to cover my trail. LOL. Data mine me and find nada worth knowing about me.
