You realise the ignorance and nativity in this statement? I use Ubuntu also, but that doesn't absolve/protect me from all potential issues I may run in when browsing/using the web. Heck, the original poster may have actually been refering to clearing the cookies to avoid tracking. However, when things like http://samy.pl/evercookie/ http://samy.pl/evercookie/ exist, it makes it even more harder to avoid tracking cookies. Andd moreover, "only I have got access to my computer". You are every non-ecrypted hop you make from your system to the target network has access to your requests, making you vulnerable to man in the middle attacks. I think you were/are just a little misguided.
