When browsing through the massive, never-ending universe of the world wide web, we often come across various visible and hidden threats in the form of viruses, malware, keyloggers etc. One way to counter these threats is to use an updated antivirus program and keep your firewall active at all times. However, sending and receiving data over an unsecured connection still continues to be a security threat. Previously, we covered an application called TrafficLight that keeps your computer safe by continually scanning the internet traffic and blocking almost all possible vulnerabilities and potentially harmful elements. Today, we have a relatively advance traffic monitoring application called Spotflux. It provides you with an encrypted connection, malware and virus protection, open and unrestricted access to blocked content, and a private, ad-free browsing experience.

Mask Surf Lite: Surf With Anonymous Credentials To Protect Privacy

We have previously explained the benefits of anonymous browsing in a number of our posts. Concealing your actual credentials is a much safer way to browse the internet, rather than exposing your actual IP address and other information across the web. This is because, phishing websites and hackers attempt to log your location and online credentials for malicious purposes, and spyware, applications and harmful codes require personal IP addresses to initiate attacks. Therefore, using an anonymous proxy can protect you against such malicious agents by providing them with alternative credentials. Mask Surf Lite is an anonymous web browsing application that cloaks your identity from and enables you to browse the internet by concealing your location and other login credentials. Read More

Chrome Assistant Converts Speech To Executable Browsing Commands

Leave a comment
Chrome recently integrated speech commands, and many apps and services are now being developed to either make use of the feature or to improve it.  Chrome Assistant is a web service that converts speech to executable commands; it allows you to open different sites based on the pre-loaded commands, look up your current location or find the local weather. It simplifies sending complex commands via speech by integrating them in to a single command. If you wanted to visit Facebook, all you'd have to do is to say ’Facebook’ in your microphone to see what your friends are up to. The service also deciphers voice commands other than the ones pre-loaded to it, though with somewhat less accuracy. The service does not yet have a URL that you can remember easily, which is why the best way of getting to it would be to download the Chrome Assistant app from the Chrome web store. Read More

The past is history but when it comes to web browsers, history is haunting proof that you’ve been slacking off at work or that you really did visit a website that downloaded malware to your company’s network. Browsing history isn’t at time just incriminating, it also eats memory and if you aren’t in the habit of deleting your browsing history (maybe even once in a decade), it all adds up to some serious memory consumption. For whatever reason you don’t like browsing history being saved, turning isn’t the easiest thing to do. History Disable Button is a Firefox extension that allows you to toggle saving browsing history on & off from a single button next to the URL bar.

How much use does the average person make of their browsing history?

Mozilla labs, however, have found a way to let users utilize browsing history. Prospector - Recall Monkey for Firefox is an extension from Mozilla Labs that turns browsing history into something useful. It lets you search your history based on time and keywords (nothing new) but it also lets you define preferential websites or sites to ignore when showing the results (very new).

Does your computer slow down when you browse your local area network and connect to other computers that are sharing data? One of the most common causes of this slowdown is a feature of Windows Explorer that looks for scheduled tasks on remote computers. This effort can take some time on some computers and can really slow down your browsing. The window with which you are browsing the network may appear to freeze momentarily, as the system is waiting for a response from the remote computer.  Although this problem is a complex one, the solution is very simple.
