Solved How to better protect yourself on MSEDGE

Freebie proxies have a very checkered past. First thing like my dad told me you don't get something for nothing. Second this smells like the public proxies of the 90's and early 2000's. At the time they called them honeypots. You have someone who is capable of logging all your web activity by logging every request you make tied to your public ISP IP, the log being provided by in this case Glype.
You are better off switching to a Tor browser or subscribe to a trustworthy VPN provider.
Many people got busted by obtaining their logs from these "public proxies" in the day ,many times connected one way or another to law enforcement. Try an alternative and see what happens with Glype and other freebie proxies in the next six months or so. After all, someone or some organization is paying for the hardware, bandwidth, and it's management at a server farm somewhere. I don't see any charitable organization stepping up to fund this project, do you?
 
The purpose of this command is a free and fast way to mask your ip while removing any information from been stored locally (Incognito mode). The proxy.batmite.com site is using a php proxy called Glype and yes is possible to get your information logged using these free services. Maintaining a service like this proxy.batmite.com is cheap and some admins can use them to track you nevertheless you can bypass any geo restriction made to you.
 
Or and I have good knowledge of this, DONT USE MICROSOFT EDGE.

Protects you very well.

Good advice Hack

Any Browser that thinks its a great idea to add Artificial Interference to a browser is both Arrogant and Stupid.

There is no such thing as Artificial Intelligence, only a complex set of advertising macros watching everything you do and use. This used to be called SPYWARE back in the day. I want a browser that just browses what I want to look at, I dont need to be reminded on every page I lookat what I bought online what holiday you think I want next or indeed which of the plethora of Sapositoories works best when you plat Polo whilst riding a Jet SKi in Marbaia.

And heres a shocker that may surprise some people, the sdverts are inserted by companies that get paid to do it and the same companies sell the tool to stop the ads being displayed in the first place.
