I've discussed VPNs, running ad blockers in non-Microsoft browsers, and running NoScript and why it's a good idea. I don't remember if I have posted about it on the list, but I've also looked at technologies to better control browser cookies and to get more information about certificates than your standard browsers give you. I run Linux in part because it's generally
more secure. Thanks to the NSA revelations, I've also been researching Tor and Freenet.
