A recent article by Laura Milligan, called “50 Firefox add-ons to achieve private and secure web surfing” provides a comprehensive list of add-ons for Firefox to achieve degreees of security and privacy whilst surfing the web:
“Firefox is generally considered a secure web browser, but if you’re interested in keeping your activity on certain websites private or giving yourself extra protection against phishing, hackers and viruses, you may want to consider beefing up your Firefox’s security in general. Thankfully, there are lots of options available that make achieving privacy and security online as easy as downloading a simple add-on or application that was designed just for Firefox users.”
This article classifies these 50 add-ons (and provides links for each of them) in the following categories: Secrecy and Encryption; add-ons that beef-up security; cookies; testing your system; passwords; protect your privacy online.
Have you had any direct experience using these add-ons? Are they up to their promises?
