Opt Out of Global Surveillance Programs Like PRISM, XKeyscore and Tempora. Secure Email, Browsing & More.
For those wanting an anonymous or even just private online experience, the chances often seem slim - with massively funded state programs designed to completely expose all of our data - it can seem as if there is no safe option left. Thankfully, the website 'Prism Break' offers a plethora of options to replace proprietary software with free, open source, privacy respecting alternatives.
While there's no guarantee that your anonymity won't be compromised by other forms of interception and hacking, you can at least close a wide variety of security risks and for some people in unfree/despotic geographical regions this can mean the difference between life and death when being involved in dissenting activities. Many of the apps on Prism-Break are tried and tested in the harshest of anti-liberty conditions.
Do pay attention to the disclaimer from the site:

You are welcome! I've tried a few, mostly with good results. Thanks a lot for the witness vote :)
my pleasure. actually I just wrote a post on the importance of voting for your witnesses, prompted by reading this post :) keep up the excellent work !
Looks like an interesting app. Anonymity is sometimes useful but sometimes quite unnecessary. Its up to the person what character he/she will choose. :) Anyways, nice article, mate!
