Re: Violation of Privacy

Cookies are blocked, flash is blocked, most the ad/marketing sites are blocked. How are they going to get useful data to target ads to me? Just by the sites I visit? That wont be useful to target ads to me, specially when I wont even see them.

Encryption hides the content, not the IP address or destinations. The addresses are all they need for data-mining.
