There are also LSO's (Flash Cookies) that are stored on your drive that a regular cookie cutter app doesn't delete.

Firefox (and I assume others) have a "better privacy" app that will let you delete them.

There is also a "Blur" extension that blocks trackers available for Firefox (and I also assume others).

Plus you can surf in the "Private" mode with most browsers.

This should reduce your tracks on the web, but I'm sure won't make you invisible.

I think for that you would need a VPN or Tor, but I haven't really investigated any of them.

I don't mind targeted ads, but since I deal with my customers, and I don't really know how much and what information is stored, I just figure the less they know about me also means the less they know about my customers.

I download the customer info without credit card numbers (my shopping cart gives me that option), I can remove their order from my cart's server, and once downloaded, I move their info to a computer that doesn't go on the net and encrypt them so in unlikely event that someone steals the computer, they still can't get my customers info. I also clear cookies, LSOs and close and reopen the browser before and after dealing with customer data.

I believe it is my responsibility to protect my customer's data more than even my own.

I also use Opera from time to time, don't like Edge yet, and won't use Chrome because Google makes a living by snooping.

I probably do 90% PC/Windows, but I don't like Mac's Safari either. More for personal preferences than any other reason.
