Here’s a list of firefox (you are using firefox arn’t you?) plugins, that were shared on Reddit, to help keep your browsing more secure and anonymous.

I already used a few of them, but in this day and age you can’t be too careful 😉

    • Annoyed by adverts? Troubled by tracking? Bothered by banners? Install Adblock Plus now to regain control of the internet and change the way that you view the web.
  • BetterPrivacy
    • Remove or manage a new and uncommon kind of cookies, better known as LSO’s.The BetterPrivacy safeguard offers various ways to handle Flash-cookies set by Google, YouTube, Ebay and others…
  • Blender
    • Blend in the crowd by faking to be the most common Firefox browser version, operating system and other stuff.
  • DoNotTrackMe
    • Protects your privacy by blocking online tracking. DNTMe blocks ads and cookies with tracking, prevents data collection, and keeps your private browsing what it should be – private. Stop web tracking of your browsing activity now.
