Just one login without using Tor means your real IP address is recorded. Pseudonyms in email (like ) aren't enough, either. That's great for web surfing, but neither HTTPS nor VPN keeps you hidden when emailing.

The HTTPS Everywhere extension (Opens in a new window)В for Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Android also ensures that websites default to using the protocol. Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and all support HTTPS Google's Chrome browser flagsВ all non-HTTPS sites as insecure. You'll know it's encrypted when you see HTTPS in the URL (instead of just HTTP) and a lock symbol in the address or status bar. That's the basic encryptionВ used on a web connection to prevent casual snooping, like when you're shopping at Amazon. Note that you also should use an email service that supports secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption. That way you're less likely to get complacent and make a mistake.

There are anonymous email services you can use, so why use Gmail at all? The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says (Opens in a new window)В it's smart to use a different email provider from your personal account if you crave anonymity.

It'll take longer to load a website using Tor, but that's the price of vigilance.

It's all about keeping you anonymous by making all the traffic you send on the internet jump through so many servers that those who would track you can't figure out where you really are. If you want to browse the web anonymously (and use that private time to set up an email), you need a VPN serviceВ and the Tor Browser, a security-laden, Mozilla-based browser from the Tor Project. And incognito mode doesn't matter if you sign into online accounts. Your browser's incognito/private mode can only do so much-sites are still going to record your IP address, for example. It's mostly about serving you targeted ads, but that's not much consolation for those looking to surf in private. CookiesВ may not know your name, but they know where you've been and what you've done and they're willing to share.
