[/quote] I know there is another post today on using alternative search engines to protect data collection from Google. That only hides your searches and is only a part of the problem. They still track you through the actual websites you visit via IP address and other forms which i will explain. It doesnt matter what platform you use for searches OR email.

Can I ask for some back ground info for oridinary folk to be able to consume , as you seem to really have a serious handle on this one, but we all need to know in practical terms the hows and why's, if you dont mind, a step by step for idiots would be terrific... Im one of them!! [/quote] 127.0.0.1 is a loopback address. Essentially, and over simplified, is tells the DNS lookup that whatever page you are looking for is on your own PC.....but it's not.....so it can't find it. It is therefore blocked. Here....easier for you to read how to do it than for me to go into it and say basically the same thing. http://www.overclock.net/t/44143/how-to-use-the-hosts-file-to-block-websites-in-windows OH....and one other way is to block all IP's Google YouTube use on your firewall(s)...assuring they will never get through.
