As much as I like gopher I must say that you would still need an IP
anonimizer that would change the IP addres every minute, ideally once
per document request.

Eliminating cookies and browser profiles is not enough.  The analytic
tools (from Google and others) are now clever enough to know who you
are just by looking at the IP from which you are accessing the
internet.

When you begin with a new IP and you visit a pair of Youtube
channels with few viewers, the anonimity is lost.  At that point they
have enough information to guess who is on that IP address.  So the
best is a different IP address for each document request.

With 56kbps modems, just hanging up and dialing again you got a
different IP.  Most ISPs nowadays, when you reset the DSL modem,
continue giving you the same IP again and again.
