I have had several questions sent into me lately all about proxy surfing.
When you get into proxy surfing, this is when the request you send into the browser goes to another service, then that other service sends your request from another location and pulls it back to you. Most of the time this is used to provide a means to deny access to certain URLs in a blacklist, thus providing content filtering.
Firefox does deliver a fix though with several add-ons you can install…
FoxyProxy is probably the most widely used, but the others have advantages too. Which one is your favorite?

It is time yet again for the weekly top five. Last week I just looked at the most popular posts of the week, but this week I wanted to do something a little more serious. I think we should all look long and hard and see how secure we really are. There are steps you can take to become more secure - and here are a few extensions that can help you do it.
1. NoScript
2. WOT
3. McAfee SiteAdvisor
4. FoxyProxy
5. Fire Encrypter
Have one that I might have missed or overlooked? Leave a comment and share it with the rest of the class.

Now I am not afraid to mention that this whole proxy switching thing never made too much sense to me. Then again, I never feel the need to be sneaky or need to get around anywhere to get my browsing done. For those of you who do feel sneaky or need a work around to browse, I have found the perfect companion for your Firefox browser. FoxyProxy is the way to go.
