Hide Surfing Trails with Distrust

Distrust for FirefoxFeeling a little paranoid these days?

If people are peeking over your shoulder or watching what you are doing you might need a little help to feel like you are staying secure. I have a Firefox extension in my vanilla colored top secret folder that I am ready to pass under the proverbial desk right to you.

So what is the Distrust extension for Firefox all about?

Distrust is a Firefox extension that came to fill the need to privacy on your computer. Distrust aims to create a silent browsing experience which means that the browser should leave the computer as it was when browsing began.

If keeping things secret is the name of the game, this extension will help you keep things private. Other features include:

  • Disable the cache. (Both regular and SSL)
  • Set the cookies to live until the end of the session.
  • Clean up the history from item that were added after it was activated.
  • Clean up the downloaded items, from the download manager, that were added after it was activated.

    Isn't distrust almost the same as checking "Always clear my private data when I close Firefox" in Options > Privacy?
    You could also not check the 3 items in the History section on the same Options page.
  • Just using distrust is not enough. You should probably run ccleaner to fully clean all traces.

  • Thanks, Mitch - I'll give it a try.
  • I would say they pretty much both do the same thing, but I like Distrust a little more.
  • Any idea how this compares with Stealther?:
