Browser – Firefox
I will use Firefox since it’s the best Free and Open Source software available. Keep updating it. Use private browsing mode.
Browser Add Ons
Https Everywhere (https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere) Many sites on the web offer some limited support for encryption over HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site. The HTTPS Everywhere extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.
No Script (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/?src=cb-dl-mostpopular) Blocks Javascript. The best security you can get in a web browser!
Allow active content to run only from sites you trust, and protect yourself against XSS and Clickjacking attacks.
Tor Button (https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/) Torbutton is the component in Tor Browser Bundle that takes care of application-level security and privacy concerns in Firefox. To keep you safe, Torbutton disables many types of active content.
Better Privacy (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) serves to protect against special longterm cookies, a new generation of ‘Super-Cookie’, which silently conquered the Internet. This new cookie generation offers unlimited user tracking to industry and market research. Concerning privacy Flash-cookies are most critical.
This add-on was made to make users aware of those hidden, never expiring objects and to offer an easier way to view and to manage them – since browsers are unable to do that for you.
Special case Browser plug-ins
Active content, such as Java, Javascript, Adobe Flash, Adobe Shockwave, QuickTime, RealAudio, Silverlight, ActiveX controls, VBScript, etc are binary applications. They run inside a sandbox in the browser. They aren’t safe. Disable them if you don’t want.
