Step #1: Install Firefox 3.

Step #2: Install Adblock Plus.

Step #3: Install NoScript.

Step #4: Profit!

This is truly the safest way to browse. The only problem is enabling scripts on websites you do trust, and it can get tedious.

If people were more open about their pr0n-ing (or did less/none of it), features like this wouldn't matter.

OK, why should any web content ever be in a position to observe your browsing history? Security holes?

Edit: the explanation in the screenshot makes more sense- it's to prevent ad servers etc collecting and sharing visit data. It apparently has nothing to do with the browsing history your web browser itself keeps track of.
