Seven Firefox Plug-ins That Improve Online Privacy

“As strange as it might sound, there are times when I wish for
the old days of the Internet circa the early 1990’s. The days of
Mosaic and Lynx, where there was no Flash, no Javascript and no
Java. A simpler time where protecting your privacy and security
wasn’t as essential as it is today.

“Time travel isn’t an option for securing my browser. But
Firefox gives me it all and then some. The number-two browser (with
32 percent market share), Firefox is a cross platform, standards
based, open source browser. It is feature rich and has
supernumerary add-ons to extend its functionality. In the spirit of
Open Source, its community maintains a focus on security and has a
strong record of swiftly patching known vulnerabilities, faster in
some cases than most others in the market.

“Firefox isn’t just a killer app; it’s also a pillar of the
Internet community. When it comes to security and privacy, the
Firefox picture is compelling, with over 600 plug-ins related to
privacy and security. Acknowledging the current state of privacy
and security, these plug-ins are a welcome addition to any browsing
experience.”
