lew Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Great article about securing your Internet browsing. The only caveat is that you need to use Opera. Opera’s parent company is European, it was recently purchased by a consortium of Chinese tech companies. https://medium.freecodecamp.com/how-to-set-up-a-vpn-in-5-minutes-for-free-and-why-you-urgently-need-one-d5cdba361907 Of course this can be done in any browser, Opera just makes it a bit easier.

lew Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 A new browser for the Internet. Built in ad blocker, Https Everywhere, script blockers, selection of password managers, do not track, enable/disable flash, shows load times in URL bar. Only a few extensions at this time. Pretty fast Try it here- https://www.brave.com/ Link to comment

lew Posted April 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 I like to try out various browsers to see if anything better is out there. The Tor Browser (Onion) is fine, especially if you're looking for something that you can't find thru "normal" channels. I occasionally use Vivaldi to test sites for display abnormalities. Some of the others list I haven't tried. For now, my browser of choice is still Chrome. I like the wide range of extensions/addons. My biggest complaint is that it does use a lot of memory when there are many tabs opened. I quit Firefox because of the memory usage and memory leaks. Hope chrome can find a way to reduce the memory usage. For Chrome, I run Script Blocker, AdBlock, HTTPS Everywhere. I wish there was a built in VPN function like Opera has but there are addons for Chrome that will do it. I'm just not that worried about what my ISP and browsers store about me. I'm pretty boring, actually. Link to comment

Lew, been using Vivaldi a whole lot since you recommended it to me, one of the faster browsers out there I think. Very efficient. Link to comment

Dadio Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Software engineers and computer programmers take glee in putting back doors in their programs so that they can get into them any time they want. Kind of like a woodworker putting secret compartments in a desk, trunk, box or other piece of furniture Herb Link to comment
