I have most options turned off, with adblock running on top. I'd use a dynamic IP as well as externally routing it, but that's a bit much. I lose interest in my own privacy pretty quickly. In the end, it's pointless. I'm pretty sure no one knows as much about me as Google does.

That all depends on what you say and do online, as well as your perspective of the internet. Passiveness is all nice and dandy, til ads are based on your emails and messages. But ads are the last thing to worry about. I'm pretty confident that anyone who truly wishes to snoop through my computer will and more importantly can find a way to do so. That only depends on their level of desire. I think they'd be disappointed to only find the latest episodes of Walking Dead and Southland though lol.

My point is, I just hate ads. :)
