How to secure your browser against malware and privacy matters.

from JoeUser Forums

 

Came across a really good “how to” article at gizmo’s freeware: http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-harden-your-browser-against-malware-and-privacy-concerns.htm#Instructions_For_Chromium_Browsers

The nice part is that it’s written in non geek English, and links to “How to stay safe online” and “How to protect your online privacy”…another two very good articles.

The article discusses the main browsers, as well as some of their better known variants. It discusses also why some of these variants are better than the “original”.

At any rate, if you’re interested, the articles are listed below:

I have downloaded Komodo, but not used it much (I use Chrome less).  I think I will start using that as my next browser (after FF/PM).  Thanks for the tips!  It is always worth reading your tips and tricks.
