If you're unhappy about websites that pass your details on to advertizers and you don't want to have to trust that all those sites out there have correctly implemented 'Do Not Track' then I heartily recommend the RequestPolicy plugin for FireFox. The downside is that the first time you go to a new site, you'll have to set which sites you allow the site your visiting to cross-site too, but that can be quite an eye-opener in itself. (Works well with NoScript too.) Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
