 | Security: Browsers: Mozilla Firefox and the No Script plug-in |
 Well, I guess that after even Google has been compromised by staff members having used Internet Explorer it is time to consider that Internet Explorer is a security hole. It is unfortunate, but it appears that the best alternate browser is the safe and secure Mozilla Firefox. And, since one can never be certain of the content on a given web page, we recommend the use of the "NoScript" plugin. To wit:
NoScript Firefox extension provides extra protection for Firefox, Flock, Seamonkey and other mozilla-based browsers:
this free, open source add-on allows JavaScript,
Java and
Flash and other
plugins
to be executed only by trusted web sites of your choice (e.g. your online bank).
NoScript requires users to explicitly permit scripts and other dangerous code. This prevents people from stumbling onto a site and derailing themselves.
Better still, look up each site at siteadvisor.com, McAfee's online site certification tool. The easiest way to do this is to type "site:siteadvisor.com nameofsite.com" in the Google search engine.
Browse safely.
