Browse The Internet With Privacy

People are often unaware that everything they do on the Internet is being watched.  Companies such as Facebook track what a person is looking at in order to target ads towards them (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/033d0fa8-f2c8-11e1-86e0-00144feabdc0.html#axzz26sJG8rmZ).  If you do not enjoy having everything you do on the Internet tracked, you can use a site like YIPPY.  YIPPY offers secure Internet browsing.  In the site’s bio it specifically says “We also won't sell your personal information to advertisers for profit.” (http://search.yippy.com/about) More search engines and Internet browsers are moving towards the trend of keeping information private.  Many Internet browsers already or will soon have features to prevent companies from tracking you Internet usage.  (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Security/Google-Adding-Do-No-Track-Into-Chromes-Latest-Developer-Build-852453/)
