Quote: You may have nothing to hide, but that donot mean that your browsing history won’t get you in trouble. Out of context, entries in a list of sites you recently visited are easy to misconstrue. (fix) Try using your browser’s private browsing feature— but don’t depend on it. Long a feature of Apple’s Safari browser, private browsing lets you surf the Web without leaving a trail of Web site addresses behind. Once you turn on Private Browsing in Safari, Apple says, you’ll leave no trace of the sites you visit. Add-ons for the Firefox browser offer Windows users the same benefi ts: An app called Distrust (fi nd.pcworld.com/62347) gives users of Firefox 2.x and 3.x a way to manage their browsing history; some fi les that Firefox temporarily writes to disk aren’t erased until the browsing session ends, however. Firefox 3.1 (now in beta form) is likely to add more-comprehensive private browsing features to the browser itself. Two add-ons—’Private Browsing’ and ‘Toggle Private Browsing’—provide granular control over settings to help users manage the new features. (Warning: In re cent testing by a se curity fi rm to see which browsers’ tools do best at protecting against tracking by visited Web sites, Firefox, Google’s Chrome, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8 beta, and Safari all fared poorly, with Safari in last place.) But no browser can completely prevent inquisitive sites from tracking your visit. For maximum anonymity, try the fee-based Anonymizer (anonymizer. com) or the free Tor (fi nd. pcworld.com/62344).
