Anonymous Surfing?

Posted by Cliff on from the another-layer-of-protection dept.

Just Alex asks: "I just got Comcast High-Speed Internet service, and found out that just up to a few months ago they were recording the actions of all of their users and saving it for who knows what. Now I'm thinking about getting an 'anonymous' service like anonymizer.com, but I wonder what other folks are using. Are all of these services the same? What should I be looking for? And what people recommend given their experience with them? Also, which ones play better with Linux?"

  1. Why not drop the service? by dasunt · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure this will be the more expensive route, but drop cable (and explain that the reason you are dropping them is that they are monitoring your surfing habits), and get DSL.

    If enough people did this, the company will what they are doing or go out of business.

    After all, why pay for an inferior service?
