Safe and Secure Browsing
Monday November 17, 2008
Privacy and security are of the utmost importance when surfing the Web nowadays. Browser exploits have become commonplace, and it seems like every couple of days another vulnerability is discovered. Keeping your browser up to date with the latest patches is one way to ensure your safety. Another line of defense involves utilizing the multitude of free add-ons created with your protection in mind. Here are some of the best.
- NoScript
"NoScript allows executable content such as JavaScript to run only if it is being hosted on a domain that you trust." - FlashBlock
"Flashblock takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading." - Netcraft Toolbar
"The Netcraft Toolbar helps protect you from phishing attacks by blocking access to suspicious URLs."
