What online privacy software should I use?

None because privacy doesn't exist online

>>57550225
But aren't there degrees of non-privacy?

you can encrypt your file with pgp
before post then

for web browsing, nothing will keep you safe and give you a normal browsing experience. your best chance is to literally block all major websites with a firewall and disable all javascript.
if you want to communicate securely with someone, use xmpp and otr, and email with pgp. if you want to send large files, literally send someone encrypted tf cards by mail and encrypt the keyfile with their pubkey and email it.

tor, gpg

>>57550400
Is there any utility in blocking third party cookies, and certain web analytics?

>>57550254
No, retard.

>>57550212
Read the sticky

>>57550414
that would be a browser addon. find an addon for your browser.

>>57550427
Do you think it's worth it?

>>57550212
>veracrypt full disk encryption (or just use Tails)
>offshore, non-logging VPN in a non 5 eyes country that uses AES-256, I like NordVPN
>Tor browser, java disabled

>>57551151
That seems a bit excessive.

Is there reason to worried about privacy to that extent?

>>57551151
>using someone's preconfigured ""its safe guys i swear by me mum"" VPN instead of setting up your own on a dedicated server somewhere inside a big data centre that gives 0 fucks about what data goes through it because it is virtually impossible to log everything because 99% of it's servers are used for website hosting.

>>57550212
None because there is no privacy.
Embrace the botnet

Tor, tox.

>>57551408
It's kind of creepy, though.

>>57551560
Poeple have choosen it.
There was a choice for a very long time, but most people didn't care "I swear OP, I have nothing to hide, I don't care".
Ggwp, now its too late. You can try to do so, but its not possible without losing a lot of comfort, and without getting a shitload of work.

Plebs

>>57550212
What are you hiding?

>>57551642
Nothing. I'm a pretty innocuous person. I just find the idea of a collective of corporation compiling some kind of personal profile about me (even if it is anonymized) a bit creepy.

Ok this is if you want some degree of privacy or be a little safer without losing to much. If you want privacy you are not gonna have a good time, in reality the internet was not built with privacy in mind.

Use Chrome (Whatever all browsers except Tor are a botnet) Get Ghostery, UBlock, HTTPS Everywhere. Get a non-logging VPN like PIA.

For OS you can choose Linux if you want, but if not just get Windows and disable a bunch of the bloat and shit.

>>57551934
Chrome and Ghostery is botnet.

I don't have to explain why Chrome is. And Ghostery is owned by an advertising company. The rest of your suggestions are good.

Ghostery

>>57552023
BOTNET

If you guys use Firefox, this is what you should be using:

>NoScript
>uBlockOrigin
>Self-Destructing cookies
>HTTPS everywhere
>Random Agent Spoofer
>uMatrix
>DecentralEyes

>>57552043
Should we even be worried about our privacy on the internet.

What negative consequences might arise?

>>57551973
>>57552043
Is Ghostery really a botnet? I have been using it lately and quite like what it does. I'll delete it. Any good alternatives?

>I don't have to explain why Chrome is
They literally all are mate, that is the thing. At least Chrome is fast and has a bunch of extensions.

How's the avast Chrome plugin for blocking analytics and ad-tracking?

>>57552043
>Self-Destructing Cookies
Does this fuck with any websites?

>Random Agent Spoofer
>DecentralEyes
What do these do? Never heard of them before.

>>57552101
>Is Ghostery really a botnet?
It's owned by an advertising agency, or at least has some sort of affiliation. They give "anonymous" data to the advertisers based on user habits. Make of that what you will, but we all know where that path leads.

uMatrix blocks trackers as well as scripts, and a bunch of other shit. It's a bit more of an "advanced" addon for normes, but any typical /g/ user should be able to pick it up pretty fast.

>>57552113
>Random Agent Spoofer
When make a request to a website, the request header usually contains your OS and your browser as a string. Random Agent Spoofer will just fake it to make it look like you're on different browsers/OS's. You can set it to make a new one every time you make a request, or you can set it at timed intervals. It has a bunch of other settings too.

>DecentralEyes
Best explained on the addon page 2bh famalam:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/decentraleyes/

>>DecentralEyes

>>57552113
>>57552141
>Self-Destructing Cookies
Does this fuck with any websites?

Forgot to add, nah it usually doesn't fuck with shit in 95% of cases. If you absolutely can't get something to work then you can disable it for that particular page. It's main function is that it just destroys any cookies related to that page when you close the tab.

>>57552043
>Random Agent Spoofer
>let me change my uaer agent every 5 minsutes to some obscure shit so websites would totally know "this is that one guy who uses obscure user agents" and ease their job on tracking me

Good job, agent.

100%, goy. 100%

Windows 10 and Google Chrome logged in to your Google Account

>>57552462
Then turn off the obscure ones you dip

I'll ask again, is there any reason to be worried about lack of privacy on the web?

>>57552509
"Worried"? Probably not. But I think it's important that you know that 3rd parties WILL collect your information at every opporunity they can to try and target shit at you. If you use Facebook, they ARE building a profile on you. Not so much to sit around and laugh at your weird porn habits, but to figure out what makes you tick and they can target shit at you in that way. For now it's just annoying ads, but in the future it could be something a little more sinister.

>>57550400
That's not the only way to send large files.

>Mega.co.nz


OP, you can use i2p, Tor or Tails and a VPN

Don't use Windows but if you do you need to go into services and disable everything that allows any sort of remote connection.

>Aurora with all proper extensions

>LVM encryption and relative BIOS options w/ boot and HDD passphrases, different.

>Pretty Good Privacy

>Obfuscate the file structure and layout of obvious locations


>Remember that you are not that important and nobody cares about the furry porn you jack off to

>>57552118
Gonna delete it then, I don't like that.
Is uMatrix on Chrome? I'll pick that up.

>>57552141
Chrome? I would like that as long as it doesn't slow anything down.

>>57552158
Again is it on Chrome? I would use Fox but it's slow. Anyways what is the main purpose of Cookies? This is the only internet related thing I have not put much interest in..

>>57552682
Chrome sends lots of data to google in plaintext, so it is higly insecure in all means.
Use Firefox or it's forks with manually adjusted about:config page.

>>57552509
All your activity is being gathered into places like Google and Facebook, with let's say your Google+ name that you eventually relented and put your real name for neatly correlated via cookies and general Google spying with everything else. It just takes one major leak and it could all be out there for anyone to trawl through.

Now, maybe this just means your company's HR snoops find out that you like My Little Pony and no one gives a fuck. Or it could mean they pick up that time you "liked" a video from Rekd Feminists on Youtube and your SJW employer fires you for it.

>>57550212
KeePassX and change your passwords with it.
IceCat with privacy addons like uMatrix and Random Agent Spoofer.
Exim to host your own mail server.

Obviously go Linux or go bust.

>>57552682
Just avoid Chrome all together. Just use Firefox like >>57552707 said.

>>57552707
>>57552740
Firefox is not as good as Chrome, especially in performance. Fox is so much fucking slower, a lot. Plus it's full of SJW fucking cunts.

What's the point? Avoid the Google botnet but enter the Mozilla botnet?

Illegal activity and skepticism

>>57552795
You can disable Mozilla botnet (which is part of Google botnet) by aletering some settings. It is much harder to disable tracking even in Chromium without altering the source code and recompiling.
Both companies have SJWs, but in case of Mozilla you don't let them earn money if you wish to.

The only safe way is accessing BBS and IRC from old Amiga.

Sorry, really ignorant question coming; I know nothing about tech. What happens to all the data pertaining to you after you die? Is there any way for these corporations to know about such events?

>>57552800
Skepticism about the use of the data?

>>57552740
I get error message about a lack of a secure connection whenever I download Firefox. And, ignorant as I am about technology, I don't know the cause.

>>57551409
>tox
Deprekekted. Also no doubt riddled with /g/chq backdoors and where's our code audits huh huh?

>>57553264
But it still runs slow. I don't care to much about Google getting some data, the reason why I use all these extensions is to prevent other sites and shit to fuck me up.

Hello everyone, lovely day isn't it?
