Folks,

There's the now usual warnings about being wary of fraudulent web sites
hawking Christmas goods and so on...

There's also various bits of news about web browser history being
tracked for directed Marketing and worse...

(And there's the Phorm-esq deep packet inspection that ain't going to be
going away even if the details might be hidden...)


So what's the best advice for trouble-free web surfing?

Is there any improvement to be had on:

Running Linux,

and

Using Firefox with the add-ons:
	NoScript
	Flashblock
	BetterPrivacy


What's the latest sneakiness being perpetrated out there on the big bad web?

Cheers,
Martin
