NoScript - Less Ads - More Secure

I was amazed how easy this proggy is to use setup and install.
Very straight forward, just as the author says.

Treats all websites as possible security threats as well as ads. Makes browsing more secure, it also makes it faster and blocks flash ads, again I want more speed when browsing this does the job.

Also, something recently added the ablility to stop "clickjacking"

"Clickjacking is a malicious technique of tricking web users into revealing confidential information or taking control of their computer while clicking on seemingly innocuous web pages. A vulnerability across a variety of browsers and platforms, a clickjacking takes the form of embedded code or script that can execute without the user's knowledge, such as clicking on a button that appears to perform another function."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickjacking



I use this with Seamonkey.
The [S] icon control which appears clearly in the right
corner of the browser window.

You'll then see and you have full control of NoScript controls.
So, if you want to change the setting your just a few clicks away,
including a whitelist of websites that you choose a safe.

Version 1.1.9 includes several changes such as extra QA for release, menu rendering speed optimizations, emulated TLD Effective service up to 100x speedup, and other improvements

Browser for each surfing experience

With the rapid developments in the flavor and
choices of Web Browsers. I use many of them for
work (organize) and enjoy enhance my surfing experience.

I put together a list of browsers
that I use in my daily web experience while
utilizing their strongest features for my needs.
Will add to the list as there many newer ones
being developed as well as newer features
in various stages of the established builds,
prefer stable rather than alpha builds...

This is not a "whose better than who" but rather
what can each offer me while making the most
of my multitask life more enriched.

The browser list is put together
in order of how often I use them and why.
As well as adding some resources and a
good bye to an old friend Netscape.

The List at moment includes:

of Add-Ons and will leave that to the user
as which they like.
