Dephormation Firefox Add-On

A new tool to fight Phorm: http://www.dephormation.org.uk/

This Firefox plug-in cannot stop Phorm from monitoring every web site you visit, reading your web mail (unless you use gmail via secure http) etc but it can at least mess up the tracking system. It’s a start.

What is really needed is a program to randomly surf the net while your PC is idle, filling Phorm’s logs up with rubbish. If enough people did it, their data would become worthless and their ad click rate would drop. Hitting them in the wallet is the only language these asshats seem to understand :(
