haha, this is interesting because I feel like I'm much more paranoid now that I'm pretty deep into security. I run a ton of Firefox privacy extensions and it still freaks me out.
For the curious:
- AdBlock+, because public Wi-Fi is slow and I don't like using more bandwidth than necessary
- NoScript in "allow global" mode (still catches some XSS and other nastiness)
- RequestPolicy (like noscript but for cross-site requests; also great for only looking at text as most big sites now host CSS/JS/images on a CDN)
- Priv3 (blocks most opt-in social media integration while still letting it function if you want)
- Ghostery (blocks tracking cookies/pixels/other methods)
- Certificate Patrol (alerts you to any changes to SSL certs on sites -- it's surprising how often many sites change SSL up. Protects you from spoofing if you pay attention)
- HTTPS Everywhere
- MAFIAAFire (Gee! No Evil! to un-filter Google autocomplete, Pirate Bay Dancing, and Redirector to circumvent Department of Homeland Security DNS hijacking)
- Header Spy because I do lots of debugging web apps and it lets me quickly robtex a server.
- Wappalyzer to see what CMS or common software the site is running on
I'm pretty tinfoil'd up and still paranoid.
- Zirro 15y agoThat makes us two. I run with the first three and a couple more of those you mentioned (although NoScript isn't in global mode, if you can bother with RequestPolicy, why not NoScript as well?). I know about most of the others you mentioned but don't feel the need for them (yet), however I'll look into Certificate Patrol.
