Almost nine in 10 Web users attempt to remain anonymous online by clearing their cookies and browser cookies, encrypting email or using proxy servers, according to a new report by the Pew Research Center.
The report, which examined people’s attitudes toward online anonymity and privacy, also says that people are more concerned about the amount of data available about them today online than in the past.
