Sure, and probably you're right. Anyway, i'd say it's worth the pain to
make tracking more difficult to those who track.

Moreover, i think one can learn a lot of the tor settings (in
firefox/iceweasel or thunderbird/icedove).

Excellent link, thanks. (A small footnote to adblock plus: I do not know
if you're aware, but in Germany there was a huge discussion about the
behaviour of the people staying behind adblock: They tried extort money
from newspapers for not putting them into their lists. That seems well
proved since serious newspapers published the related contacts).

It's you, who contributed? ;-)

Thanks again!
