17 Fixes To Common Internet Problems We All Know And Hate


 
SAMPLE

Problem #3

You're a stickler for privacy while browsing the Internet.

Solution: Collusion, a Chrome extension that will simultaneously terrify and protect you.

Thousands of companies and websites are secretly colluding to collect your personal data as you browse the web, but this extension allows you to track the spread of their data across websites.

A toolbar icon will begin to animate if your "graph" (pictured above) changes. And if that data sharing makes you uncomfortable, Collusion lets you sever the hidden connections.

These are CHROME centered apps, but some (like Problem #11You have way too many passwords to remember) are intriguing.

I've been a server builder and admin since the mid-90's, emphasis on security.
My professional opinion: if you're using Chrome, you've already lost.
The bad guys who know what they're doing will still track you by your UA string. I wonder if this add-on fixes that? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/tracking-by-user-agent
My solution to this has been http://www.enhanceie.com/ietoys/uapick.asp & putting my temp file and cookies on a RAM disk.
I guess Chrome with add-ons is for the busy and/or clueless. To each his own.
Despite propaganda to the contrary, the most secure browser is IE on a hardened Windows installation and fortified with EMET: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/search/results.aspx?q=emet

I use Tor fairly often, and occasionally KISS. Both reroute you through multiple serves, although KISS is noticeably slower.
