Top security web browser plugins

Plugins that you should have installed to browse internet safely. Of course you don't need to install them all. One java script blocker and one ad blocker and one privacy/tracker blocker is enough. On the list you can find best plugins for Chrome/Firefox/Opera. It is also good to have VirusTotal plugin installed to scan files before download.

Security and Privacy Enhancing Chrome Extensions

The extensions on this list will harden your Chrome/Chromium installation against security risks and invasions of privacy. Step one is using an open source and Google free Chromium fork like Brave instead of Google Chrome, which is most likely tracking you. Remember to click the "Allow in incognito" checkbox on the "Extensions" page for all of the extensions on this list that you install, otherwise the extensions won't work in incognito mode. Be sure to also get a secure, anonymous, no logs, leak proof VPN service that is based outside of the Five Eyes (the US, the UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand) and the Enemies of the Internet. You'll find a list of options here. Are you more of a Firefox kind of person? Don't worry, we got you covered as well.

What is Random User-Agent?

Automatically change the user agent after specified period of time to a randomly selected one, thus hiding your real user agent.

User agent - a string that is sent along to any website you visit. This is a sort of "fingerprint" your browser leaves behind which contains:

  • The name and version of your browser;
  • The name of the operating system (Mac, Windows, Linux, etc.) and its version;
  • Information about some of the plugins installed on the browser;
  • Other information that identifies and exposes you.

This extension has been created to stop data leakage. It automatically replaces user agent strings after a specified period of time with a randomly selected one. User agent strings can also be set manually. The extension is incredibly lightweight, using very few resources. User agent randomization can be customized by the user (what browsers and OS are spoofed, etc.). Exceptions list available with option of wildcards. Protects against JavaScript exploits to hide your identity and protect your anonymity.
