My point was that it is neither a cure nor solution. It does of course help when combined with other means, but this plugin obviously can't supply those.

Actually, no - it is far worse than nothing. It makes you feel secure while you are not. I don't understand this line of reasoning - why would HTTPS be the cure for the privacy problem? So you can post sensitive data through HTTPS to G

You do know that being the only iPhone user in the world who tells that he is using HTC One X is actually a pretty lead on you? :) Sometimes the very acts that you do when trying to conceal your identity can be used to reveal it.

You don't need "a lot of time explaining it to him in full details" - he doesn't need to know all the details. If you can't explain the product to him in under a minute, you need spend more time thinking about what is important and what not
