Question
When I click on a Google search result, Javascript tracks my click. Is there a Firefox add-on or other security software to prevent this?
Hi Jeff,
When you click on a link, that info is recorded on your providers server. What they do with it is unknown. If you want to clear your surfing results in Firefox, you can enable "Clear surfing when Firefox closes".
Heres the link on how to do that.

There are Free Proxies that allow you to surf thru their browser and remain untracked, or so they say. You can never be sure.
Hope this helps.
Doug
