Few websites to check how anonymous you are on
the Internet
A friend of mine has recommended, few websites which are quite
useful in checking what kind of information a remote website could
possibly retrieve about your system. I've found quite useful as
they expose the high level of browser security there is nowdays
even on a Linux based systems.
I've been stunned that so many information about my Linux desktop
could be mined even when I use my browser through a tor
network.
Here are the websites you might also like to check and possibly
afterwards improve your Browser security:

http://www.proxy-list.org/ru/show-my-ip.php
http://leader.ru/secure/who.html
I was rather shocked that some information that could be retrieved
on my Linux host could even reveal fundamental details about my
Linux Desktop like a version of my currently running Linux
kernel!
In the past I've blogged an article which is quite related to the
topic of
Internet Anonimity and Browser security
You might consider checking my old article
How to improve your web browser security and better secure your
personal identity privacy on the internet here
I will take some steps further to look on how to further decrease
the amount of OS sensitive data revealed by my browser and will
further blog when I find ways for better ways to anonimize my
surging.
