@The world will know squalor.: Privacy is about illegality, not always.

I just don’t like people looking and recording what web history I visit, its not like I’m doing something illegal.
I like a way to start Chrome automatically in private browsing, but TOR seems good in the Editors note.

@bobby.tables: I understand that. But I don’t do anything illegal online, so I don’t need that kind of privacy.

@The world will know squalor.: Maybe, but that’s not real private browsing. It only hides the visited sites from the history etc. – so basically it hides your last porn site visit from your wife (for eyample, no insult intended). TOR provides you with a way to browser really anonymous, meaning: it hides your browsing from authorities and even your ISP – that may come in handy in quite a few countries or certain “situations” with copyright laws.

@iDevelopWeb:
For Ubuntu
1.) Add “deb [deb.torproject.org] main” to /etc/apt/sources.list
2.) In terminal type “gpg –keyserver keys.gnupg.net –recv 886DDD89″
3.) In terminal type “gpg –export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC 9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -”
Remove the space between BC and 9
4.) Then do an “apt-get update” followed by an “apt-get install tor tor-geoipdb”
5.)Right-click and download the polipo.conf file that tor needs. [svn.torproject.org]
6.)move the conf file to ~/.polipo “mv polipo.conf ~./polipo”
7.)restart polipo “/etc/init.d/polipo restart”
8.) Follow the steps from the article for setting up Proxy Switchy!

I think Safari handles private browsing better than the other browsers. It’s quick and easy: Click “Private Browsing,” and it starts without having to open a new window like Chrome and Firefox.

alternatively, you can use [www.torproject.org] which is a portable install of TOR+Firefox+needed tools. So you don’t have to touch your existing browser setup or have TOR constantly running in the background..
