Private Browsing – It’s not just for porn anymore.

The Vancouver Sun decided recently they want me to pay to read it online. If you view more than 15 articles in a month you have to subscribe. I thought that since they have 50% or more of the page as ads, well that’s enough.
In comes Firefox and their Porn-At-Work Mode. Also known as private browsing. It doesn’t save any info on your computer, any history or cookies so your boss can’t look it up and see you spent the day watching kitten videos. Or sex kittens.

(By the way, there’s lots of other ways to track you having spent 6 hours at work looking at interviews with Twilight stars).

Anyway, without this tracking data, the Vancouver Sun doesn’t get to count how many articles you read. Or maybe you’re just embarrassed to be seen reading it.
