[SOLVED] Privacy apps

arodlinux · 04-19-2014, 08:45 PM

I use Opera 12.16 as my defautl browser. My setting are blocking all cookies, no javascript and no content images. I only allow this setting on a few website that I "trust". Now my questions is do I need, or would be recommended, to install the following in Opera; no script, ghostery and adblock?

There are a few plugins that I install for all browsers, but my Firefox list is Adblock Edge, Beef Taco, betterprivacy, Disconnect, https-everywhere, and Startpage for searching. I was using NoScript but stopped a while back. For Opera and Chrome/Chromium, I always have Adblock Plus, and whatever of those already mentioned are available for these browsers (most aren't). I'll use Ghostery if I can't get Disconnect.

unless you are using TOR you will WANT!!!!! to keep "javascript" turned on
keep is set to "true" in

Code:

about:config

Quote:

javascript.enabled;true

about all you really need is
No-script
Ad Block plus
Ghostery

but if you really want to go to the extreme and put a "tinfoil hat " on

grab the current "tor-browser"
turn on no-script and set to to disallow all
-- the default setting is to allow ALL scripts to run

then disable javascript in "about : config "

then set all cookies all history and well EVERYTHING to auto delete on firefox's shut down

Also DO NOT!!!! install any plugins !!!!
no movie plugins
no flash plugins
no any plugins

Adblock is a life-saver.
