[OU] How to anonymize Opera?

[macintoshzoom]

Hi ?...couldn't find your name! ... opera team?,

Thanks for your mail, you are understanding the issue.

If you try Firefox, tweaked as per the pre-designed for privacy Firefox
profile Jondofox, that you can use with their anonymizer, with tor, or
without proxy at all (just setup the proxy settings), you will see how
results are different than your best Opera, with proper explanations,
and how this Firefox JONDOFOX tweaked REALLY respects your privacy.
Of course, you need to reduce this privacy level when in need of a
javascript, flash or referrals specific site browsing.
Using privoxy http filtering tool, you can avoid some dangers even when
javascript enabled, I think.
The cookies filter on this Firefox Jondofox, cslite addon, can allow
specific cookies per site, and allow them only forthe session so as not
to create a profile from your browsing next day when browsing again th
site. (of course, you will lost your personal site settings that are
stored in the cookie, if you really need them, you can selectively allow
the cookie forever.

All this new browsing habits requires a bit of practice, but its only an
hour or two and for the childs its a question of even less.

Blabla you said "Again this information is not sent to comprimize your
privacy". This is Blabla, yes it is creating a profile of my browsing
habits that will stay in who knows what databases (Google, Feds,
Mormons, Mafias?) and who knows in a near future if someone is calling
at my mail to ask for money if I want they not say my family, friends,
associates, coworkers, employees, public blogs, that from year x to year
x I was chating in gay's portals, or if I go on politics, who can know
how my rivals will use this information to send shit over my name and
over our politic party forces,.. and so on ...
I DONT WANT SO, I DONT WANT THAT EITHER FOR MY SONS.

The N#1 addon (millions downloads) for Firefox is Noscript, a javascript
selective and customizable barrier to avoid the javascript (and other
plugins) dangers (they can execute code (virus.trojans, pass stealers,
..) on your PC in the background) and some privacy breaks you talk
about, but as you said, many sites including youtube make extensive use
of javascript to do you never know what.

Jondofox profile includes this one Noscript addon, preconfigured, plus
some other ones to protect privacy, non-censorship, non-surveillance,
freespech all first class human civil rights promoted by the UN, and by
todays still violated even by such advanced browsers as Opera.

You can download this special pre-set Firefox profile from

I am an Opera lover from when it was a paid browser, but you are losing
the battle about respecting users life and privacy rights.
