We all like tools that help us feel a little safer, right? Firefox has a slew of tools you can use to add extra security to the platform. One thing I really like about this is each person can decide how much more added security he or she needs. How do you know which of [...]
A of noise has been made about the excitement around private browsing.

It looks like somebody has been creating and uploading Greasemonkey scripts that steal your cookies. Since your cookies [...]
Hey I see you, walking down the street – keeping your eye on me. Don’t think that I am not on to your little tricks, because I know exactly what you are doing. You are tracking me aren’t you?
If you have found yourself in the same boat I am in right now you [...]
