Some guy at OSnews.pl reported that Opera stores his browsing history in opcache folder. It is very interesting, because he removes browsing history everyday, using Opera's GUI, but the stored history in opcache reaches 2 years back. All files in that folder are gzipped and there's about 10 000 such files.
I don't trust web browsers which are not Open Source. And no, Chrome is not Open Source.
And what is about Adobe Reader? Is it a bloatware, too? I buy computers without operation system and then install Linux, but my friends prefer to choose computers with Windows and some additional software (such as Adobe Reader) pre-installed. It is a really slow piece of software if you check it against Evince from Gnome. Also, I've heard a lot about Reader's security problems. Adobe has recently announced that they're going to create a sandbox mechanism inside of Reader, so it will become even more slower for sure!

It's their own fault if they are not able to think! Stupid, poor people loses. It's the theory of evolution and nothing more.
Just because it is bad, a lot of my friends print articles from Wikipedia and read them outside the computer or - as in this news - TV screen.
Android is not open, nor is Chrome. I wrote a post on my blog about it.

Haven't you tried to tunnel your traffic over ssh instead of being worry about ISP's logs?
