Inspired by the Google’s encrypted web search, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) together with the Tor Project has just launched a new extension for Firefox called HTTPS Everywhere to ensure every search the browsers sent was encrypted.
It will encrypt your communications with a number of major websites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Search, Wikipedia, PayPal, NYT, etc. and ensures your security.
Do you own an Android phone such as Google Nexus One or Motorola Droid and would you like to try out your favorite browser Firefox on it? Mozilla has started to develop a browser for Android phones.
And preliminary builds for Android 2.0 and above versions are now available for testing via Mozilla’s ftp site.
Add-ons, plug-ins or extensions will certainly give more features to your browser Firefox. But installing many can slow down your browser. Moreover, we can not trust every add-on (see example here).
So, how to prevent others who share your computer, for example your children, from installing unnecessary add-ons?
