The Web is pretty happy place full of puppies, clouds and rainbows (and cats, of course). Unfortunately, there are also some big meanies out there who don't play nice with people's private information. Here, then, are some tools to help you keep your info your own.
Do Not TrackMany sites track what you do online and then sell that data to advertisers; Firefox lets you tell them you want to opt out. This doesn't yet make you invisible to all advertisers, however, and while not everyone is on board yet, we've seen a lot of interest and progress. If you haven't already, show your support by enabling Do Not Track on your
desktop or
mobile today.
Private BrowsingThis feature does exactly what it says.
Turn it on to keep your browsing history private from others who use the same computer. Sometimes it's nice to go undercover.
Clear Recent HistoryForgot to turn on Private Browsing? No problem. You can delete the most recent sites you visited with
just a few clicks.
Forget This SiteIf you're having second thoughts about visiting a specific site, but don't want to lose your whole history, you can
remove any trace of it from your browser. It's like it never existed in the first place. (What site? Exactly.)
