Anonymizer nevercookie (http://nevercookie.anonymizer.com/)
Introducing Anonymizer Nevercookie™, a FREE Firefox plugin that protects against the Evercookie API. The plugin extends Firefox’s private browsing mode by preventing Evercookies from identifying and tracking users.
Evercookie is a new, more persistent cookie form that enables the storage of cookie data in a number of different locations, such as Flash cookies and various locations of HTML5 storage. This allows websites to track user behavior even when users have enabled private browsing. Because an Evercookie stores data in locations outside of where standard cookies are stored, an Evercookie can rebuild itself unless users go through a number of steps to completely clear and reset their local storage.


HTTPS Everywhere (https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere) is a Firefox extension produced as a collaboration between The Tor Project (https://www.torproject.org/) and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (https://eff.org/). It encrypts your communications with a number of major websites.
Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/HTTPS), but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.
The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.
