So, they finally made me install Tor. They are these people. I don't believe that ISPs do anything other than track their users' browsing habits and sell the data to the highest bidder.
In these days of the presumption of guilt, in these days of an over-bearing and all powerful executive arm of government that will destroy you if they don't like you, there really is no option, but to be paranoid.
You can browse anonymously using Tor.
On a Debian based system, Tor is pretty easy to install:
apt-get install tor
you also need privoxy:
apt-get install privoxy
Debian packages mostly work out of the box these days, but privoxy needs /etc/privoxy/config tweaking. This line needs to be added:
forward-socks4a / 127.0.0.1:9050 .
Then applications like firefox need to be setup to use the tor-privoxy proxy.
But now browsing is anonymous, if somewhat slow.
