Who Needs A Privacy Browser?

Who Needs A Privacy Browser?

 

 

I’d bet a good amount of money that you’re reading this article on a standard web browser. Most people aren’t very concerned about their online privacy, even though details about your browsing history and even your passwords and private banking data could be vulnerable to hacking.

The easy answer to the above question is that everyone who uses the Internet should be using a browser with privacy features. The Lockfox privacy browser is just one example of browsers with built-in privacy and security features. As more people do all of their banking and even store all their family photos and sensitive financial information online, the need for browsers with privacy features increases.

 

 

Some of the features on the Internet that I know the best–Internet games, email, and online banking, can lead to some of the more serious privacy and security problems. I’ve seen people fired or at very least reprimanded over the Internet games in their browser history at work. All that time you spent building your megafarm on Facebook’s Farmville costs your company money. Protect your Farmville addiction by using a privacy browser.

As for email, you’d be surprised how easy it is for someone to get your email username and password through your browsing activity at unsecured sites. Imagine  the chaos that could come of someone getting access to your online banking information.

Privacy browsers come in many forms, from a simple Incognito option on Google’s popular Chrome browser to full-fledged anonymizers and other privacy features on more robust browsers like the aforementioned Lockfox. You don’t have to go too far out of your way to add a little bit of security and privacy to your online activities–being sure to clear your cookies and browsing history every day is a small way to turn your online activities a little more private.
