SECURE BROWSERS

Tor

The Tor browser has become the watchword for the anti-surveillance because it is built on an entire infrastructure of ‘hidden’ relay servers. Built atop a modified Firefox, it can be installed on a Windows, Mac or Linux PC but also on a USB stick if that’s preferable.



Dooble

Dooble is a lean Chromium-based multi-platform (Windows, Linux, OS X) browser that won’t be for everyone despite its privacy features. In its default state it disables insecure interfaces such as Flash and Javascript which will make it difficult to use with a lot of sites but might be worth it for its stripped-down approach. The browser assumes the user wants to travel incognito from the off, while HTTPS can be enforced and third-party session cookies in iFrames blocked. The handling of cookies is unusually granular.



DuckDuckGo

DuckDuckGo is not just a search engine--it's a community of people that believe in a better search experience. Our community's mission is to provide a better search experience across topics and interests, continents and countries, languages and devices, by working together to make sure every contributor's individual interests/experience can be represented in our search engine.

ENCRYPTION PROGRAMS

Ghostery

Ghostery helps you be a web detective, by tracking over 1200 trackers and giving you a roll call of the ad networks, data providers, web publishers, and any other company that is interested in your web activity and habits. The more you learn about the companies using your online data, the more you can make decisions on how to control your exposure to these companies.



TrueCrypt

TrueCrypt is a free and open sourced disk encryption service for Windows, Mac, and Linux. The program creates a virtual encrypted disk inside a file and then mounts it as a real disk. You can encrypt a USB flash drive or a hard drive automatically and transparently. Check out TrueCrypt’s FAQ for more information.



HTTPS Everywhere

The FBI recently claimed that the use of HTTPS by Google and Facebook was making these sites difficult to wiretap. If you are thinking “that’s the point”, you are right. Most websites use the unencrypted HTTP, which is prone to eavesdropping. HTTPS encrypts pages, therefore third parties have troubling seeing what page you are on. If a site doesn’t start with HTTPS, don’t send sensitive information to it. The app “HTTPS Everywhere” promises that all sites you go to will be encrypted. Download it for Chrome (BETA) and Firefox.
