How Do Your Choose Your Internet Browser and Software for Better Computer and Privacy Security?

In the past, computer security experts regarded operating systems as the “Achilles’ heel” of computer security. More recently, some experts have come to regard commonly installed software programs as the greater threat to security.

Your internet browser. Many people regard the Mozilla Firefox browser as superior to other browsers. One advantage of Firefox is that it is an “open source” program. This allows security professionals to become involved in fixing bugs and building stronger security features. Another important advantage of Firefox is its so-called Add-Ons, which can be used to strengthen Firefox’s built-in security and privacy features. Three Firefox Add-Ons that we recommend are NoScript, Better Privacy, and HTTPS Everywhere.
