Today's World Wide Web is more dangerous than ever. This is true even when you're using a Mozilla Firefox download browser, which is often perceived as a "secure browser." On its generic state, Firefox won't be able to guard your computer from all of the hazards, especially if you like visiting "dangerous sites." So, to further improve your browser's security features, here are some add-ons you must know.
2. Today's World Wide Web is more dangerous
than ever. This is true even when you're using
a Mozilla Firefox download browser, which
is often perceived as a "secure browser." On
its generic state, Firefox won't be able to
guard your computer from all of the
hazards, especially if you like visiting
"dangerous sites." So, to further improve your
browser's security features, here are some
add-ons you must know.
3. Add-ons are basically features that are created
mostly by third parties and may be integrated
into your Mozilla Firefox download browser.
There are many types of add-ons. Some of them
are for aesthetic purposes but the most famous
ones are meant to make your browsing
experience more secure. They help save your
computer from suffering damages caused by
viruses. There are five add-ons that are well-
known for their safety capabilities.
4. The first of these add-ons is called BetterPrivacy.
This one recognises and protects your systems
from "super cookies." Take note that a lot of the
sites you visit everyday actually install simple
cookies on your browser. They use these cookies
to take note of your preferences and customise
the content they serve you through them. Super
cookies on the other hand cannot be easily
deleted or even detected – unless you have a
feature like BetterPrivacy installed in your
Firefox download browser.
5. Another add-on you can download and install
to your browser is called NoScript. It can block
malicious scripts, which in turn can infect your
computer. With this add-on installed on your
Mozilla Firefox download browser, you'll
also be able to view JavaScript, Java, and
other potentially dangerous content but only
from sites that you approve as trusted.
6. Meanwhile, Stealther lets you browse sites without
essentially revealing information about you. It
disables your Firefox download browser's history.
As the name implies, you can go surfing around the
Web without fearing that you'll be traced through
cookies. It can also disable your file history, forms
information, and disk cache. Web Of Trust (better
known as WOT) also acts as a look-out while your
surfer the Web through your Mozilla Firefox
download browser. It detects sites that may harm
your computer with spam. It will also warn you when
you're about to enter a website that could be a source
of infection or scam.
7. The most popular security add-on for the
Firefox download browser, however, is still
Adblock Plus. Hundreds of thousands of copies
of this add-on are download each and every
week. That's because it hits two birds with one
stone. It blocks banners and ads, preventing
your from clicking possible dangerous links. The
blocking of ads also makes your browsing
experience more enjoyable since you can focus
on content and not on advertisements.
