New Tool to Stop Creepy Online Tracking

[want2c]

Privacy Badger is EFF's answer to intrusive and objectionable practices in the online advertising industry, and many advertisers' outright refusal to meaningfully honor Do Not Track requests. This week, Mozilla published research showing that privacy is the single most important thing that users want from their web browsers. Privacy Badger is part of EFF’s growing campaign to deliver that privacy by giving you the technical means to disallow trackers within the pages you read on the Web.

Actually we DO NOT need a bunch Eccie users turning their computers into Tor Relay's.

No offense to people that are not a bit tech savy, but the worst possible thing would be for someone to use the same computer for their Hobby/Eccie world and their civie life and open it up as an indiscriminate Tor Relay.

Tor ONLY assists in communication between parties, it does not prevent evil-doers from attacking the computer acting as a Tor relay. You need to be careful in your settings to assure you are not compromising your own PC if you are acting as a relay.
