Security for journalists

Tor Browser

Want to browser websites with out being tracked? https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en

Firefox

Sounds like a conspiracy but Chrome by default saves all of your search history and mines your information to pay for the browser, which could give a person the shivers! If you find Tor too slow then http://getfirefox.com/! Highly recommend the privacy badger and ublock orgin as addons

1. uBlock Origin - stop trackers and adverts

2. privacy Badger - eats tracking cookies as it goes

3. facebooks container - keep facebook from running in none facebook tabs

If you use these sort of plug-in in chrome it's a bit useless as google all the time are making new ways of tracking that circumvents the plugins that it runs!

Tails

This is particularly useful if you don't have an open source operating system like macosx or windows and need to research something securely. Tor browser makes it hard to be spied on, Tails makes it very very hard to be spied on. Best ran from a usb, see: http://tails.boum.org/

General

Want generalised help with something specific i highly recommend privacytools.io it's great!
