5 Simple Steps To Surf The Web Anonymously

Contributor by Contributor
August 8, 2022
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In the 21st century, all user activities on the Internet are tracked. Browsers collect this information to display relevant ads. However, there are times when user data fall into the wrong hands, which can lead to unpleasant consequences. Anonymity can allow you to visit even the darkest corners of the Internet, such as dark web links. For this reason, a few simple rules must be followed to maintain anonymity.

Master and Use a VPN 

A Virtual Private Network is a technology that encrypts the channel between the user and the network. The easiest way to get the most out of a VPN is to install a browser extension. There are quite a few of them, and you can choose the one whose description caught your attention. However, this is far from the only and most reliable solution. Special programs that can be installed on a PC or smartphone work more efficiently. At the same time, the highest quality services are usually paid ones. There are also free versions, but the Internet speed is significantly reduced when using them.

Use Anonymous Web Surfing Through Browser Settings 

Most browsers have a dedicated privacy feature. Everyone can use it completely free of charge. It will not be able to provide 100% anonymity, but it still increases the degree of your security. Using this mode, you can not worry about the fact that the data about your affairs on the Internet will remain on your computer. Cookies and temporary files will be deleted automatically after you close the browser window. Logins and passwords on sites are not saved, and the history of site visits is cleared.

Block Third-party Cookies

Cookies are files that are stored on your device and used by websites to identify your preferences. However, it is quite common for some online advertisers to use these cookies to track your online behavior and then show you tailored ads. If you see a notification about the use of cookies while visiting the site, simply reject it.

Turn off Location Tracking in Your Browser Settings 

Browsers and apps can track your location. The system not only reveals your online activities but also allows apps to share the places you visit. Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and others also use your IP and location information by default. These data are sent to the websites you visit to match ads and other offers that suit you best. But the problem is that people and agencies you don’t need can still use this information to spy on you.

Use an Anonymous Email Address 

When you log in to some sites, you provide your email address. So as not to share such information once again, you can use special services that generate a random address. This method will not always work, but it may be enough to reduce the chances of becoming a victim of cybercriminals.

It is possible and, in some cases, very necessary to mask or even completely hide the traces of your presence on the network. To achieve maximum anonymity, it is necessary to use several methods described above at once.
