Comment Cross platform tools (Score 2, Informative) 129
Some cross platform tools I use both under Linux and Windows:
- Firefox with PermitCookies extension (to easily enable cookies on trusted websites) and BugMeNot extension (to avoid compulsory registration at popular websites)
- When really needed (since it's pretty slow) Tor + Privoxy to surf anonymously
- Thunderbird + Enigmail for email
- Gaim + gaim-encryption plugin for IM
- Truecrypt for disk encryption (latest version runs great under Linux too, although there is no GUI yet)
- Throw-away email accounts like mailinator.com
But most importantly:
If you care about your privacy, don't give away your data to everyone!
