These days everyone is concern regarding the privacy of their information. Either when surfing the internet or shopping online, your want to make sure you won't be the victim of a identity theft. This is why we believed that this Top 5 best Add-ons for a secure browsing with Mozilla will help you get what you want: a safer online experience.

And here are our top 5 Winners:


1) Adblock Plus
2) Better Privacy
3) No Script
4) WOT
5) FoxyProxy


1) Adblock Plus

This add-on is the most popular among Firefox users for blocking banners and ads, with almost 800,000 downloads every week. If you ever been annoyed of those ads and banners on the internet that often take longer to download than everything else on the page or those flashy things that only bother you instead of creating a nice surfing, Adblock Plus is the right for you.

 

2) Better Privacy

This one will protect your system against cookies that cannot be deleted, known as “super-cookies”. It blocks longterm tracking on Google, YouTube, Ebay and many other domains.

 

3) No Script

I think the title says it all. It will protect your computer against XSS and Clickjacking attacks by blocking JavaScript, Java, Flash and other executable content from running in your browser unless you specifically tell it to allow from a particular site, almost in the same way as Adblock Plus.

 

4) WOT

WOT = Web Of Trust. I'm pretty sure you figured it out already what this baby does. If not, this is a great add-on that will warn you anytime a website is out to rip you off, infect your computer or bombard you with spam. It will rate each page and will give it a color based on the "danger" that website poses. Green for OK, yellow for caution and red to stop – helping you avoid the dangerous sites.

 

5) FoxyProxy

if you are tired of blocked sites and need more privacy, then feel free to try FoxyProxy. It provides you an interface that  switch your connection settings to certain proxies based on pattern matching URLs that you are visiting. It offers more features than SwitchProxy, ProxyButton, QuickProxy, xyzproxy, ProxyTex, TorButton, etc.
