how often should one do so to prevent / do something about web tracking? Any better solution?
Firefox browser, because it has the most add-ons and also the only one with NoScript.
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
the add-ons of
Ghostery (enable all in preferences, web trackers, Flash and Silverlight cookies etc)
TrackMeNot (sends random search data to search engines as they record all your searches)
HTTPSEverywhere (from the EFI, asks for a encrypted connection from all websites if possible)
Click&Clean (cleans all info upon exit to reduce History Sniffing, cookies etc)
AdBlock Plus (enable ALL blocking in preferences or Google ads get through)
NoScript (drag a Temp Allow All button to the FF toolbar, click only if you trust the site)
WebofTrust (community driven warning system of bad sites/links and whatever)
Use DuckDuckGo as your search engine, they don't record your searches.
Of course all this is diddle squat as the NSA records all Internet traffic, passes what they find to the FBI and your ISP has your physical location.
So your not anonymous, but at least you can block all the others.
Use Safari for those sites that won't work under your FF configuration.
Don't use Chrome as it's Google and they are the biggest trackers of them all.
