If you truly want to be anonymous while browsing the web, the best way I've found is to use TOR and Privoxy.....TOR is an anoymous bouncing proxy server (so when you load a page it uses a random proxy from across the world...makes it nearly impossible to track your location, but it slows you way down), while Privoxy strips all referrer information, such as browser, tracking cookies, OS version, etc, as well as blocks ads and other such things. These two working together makes you as anonymous as any program is going to be able to do. The other part of anonymity is just watching your tongue and not giving other people clues as to your location or identity.
Me? I'm not quite that paranoid. I only occasionally have use for TOR/Privoxy, and browsing this forum isn't one of those occasions.
