I'm doing another serious Firefox test. I already use it for most of my non-day-job browsing, but having so many bookmarks set up in Google Chrome plus Firefox's tab issue (you can only fit so many on the screen before you have to use scroll buttons) has kept me in Chrome.

(Puts tinfoil hat on) The worst thing is a smartphone. It's like we're all wearing a wire AND a tracking device at all times. Facebook is telling us how creepy it is in terms of how much data it collects, and while that is oddly refreshing, Google, Amazon, Apple, Twitter and others are being suspiciously quiet about what they do and how much control we have over it.

The question is becoming, "Should we avoid being tracked, and how can we do it?" It sounds very tinfoil hat but likely includes all commercial social-media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat), everything Google, Apple and Amazon, and all branded browsers.
