An AppleScript to sanitize Safari

What would that reason be?

I can think of a few...

Like you are at work, and you want to look for a better job - but you don't want any traces of that. Or you want to post to a website that is critical of your company. Or you work for a large Tobacco or Oil or Energy company and want to be a whistle blower. All things that need your tracks erased.

Or you want to browse information about your governments illegal activities. Or find out how to become a dissident. Even how to find council when your American first ammendment rights are violated.

Perhaps you want to browse Sony, or MPAA, or RIAA websites. You don't want them tracking you with persistent cookes. How about adbots and spambots and cookies that track your behavior across sites. We don't want any insideous behavior such as that. Need to keep our computer clean.

What if you want to order your spouse or kids a Christmas present, anniversary gift, or birthday extravaganza - and you know they will snoop. You need to erase the evidence!

Or Pr0n.


By the way, I also recommend tunneling your traffic through a cloaking SSH tunnel or HTTPS proxy, if you don't want what you browse to be sniffed or logged.

Not that I would need to, just saying.... You know. Informational purposes. This *is* a hint site, right?

What?

:)
