"Android was 2016's most vulnerable product"

If you buy a phone from a carrier, say T-Mobile (what I have), you typically will have a non-rooted device that ships with their own custom ROM, along with some of their apps. So OS updates are pushed by / from the carrier. You end up with a situation where, if you have any beefs with the...

How does one go about stopping sites from evesdropping on what you do in other tabs?

The techniques I mentioned above aren't limited in their use to ad servers. Many of the sites that you visit use these techniques in their HTTP headers, and then do god knows what with the info. Of course not all metrics / analytics are collected for the express purpose of identifying you. A...

Newegg.com is stalking me

Like energee said, did you clear out your HTMLK5 local storage? There are tons of ways they can ID you now. Pay a visit to the EFF page and check out the Canvas API, among other things. If you visit a site with javascript enabled in your bowser, and the site is taking advantage of the Canvas...
