Safer Browsing With Extensions

Did you know that you can make your browser even more secure by installing extensions? Let’s take Firefox as an example and look at some Firefox add-ons that are designed to protect you when browsing the Web:

• Want to prevent ads from appearing on the sites you visit and that could potentially take you to more dangerous sites? Install Adblock Plus.
• Need protection against JavaScript, Java and other executable content that could cause cross-site scripting attacks (XSS), cross-zone DNS rebinding / CSRF attacks (router hacking) and Clickjacking attempts? Install NoScript.
• Would you like to know which sites to trust? Install WOT.
• Want to know in which country the web server resides that you’re connected to? Install Flagfox.
• Want to preview sites before you click on their links? Install CoolPreviews.
• Ever wonder if you’re being tracked by Google, eBay or YouTube and want to block them? Install BetterPrivacy or Ghostery.
