Best Firefox security addons?
Ehtyar:
Two extensions I consider to be useful, presuming they work as described ;) are BetterPrivacy ...

Didn't know about Flash LSOs, thank you. Here's a link to BetterPrivacy on Mozilla and an extension called Objection on mozdev which performs a similar function but is not automated.
Ehtyar.

Glad to help!

It's good to see more people becoming aware of Flash "cookies", which don't expire. Also, BetterCache isn't a very descriptive name -- it tries to keep people from exploiting your cache regarding privacy issues, but it's a fairly obscure technique (so far).

Is there an add-on similar to AdBlock Plus for IE 7?

Try the free and excellent IE7Pro, which has many other cool features too. I was very happy with it when I used Internet Explorer 7 for a while before returning to Firefox when the new Firefox 3.0 came out and was faster than IE on my computer. I don't know how I could live with IE before I found IE7Pro :-).

Perhaps you already know this: http://www.admuncher.com/
Not free though.

Thanks for the info, and sorry for "off-topicing" the Firefox thread to ask about IE. :)

I only use adblock and McAfee SiteAdvisor which you can use to see if sites are legit or not / shopping experiences and warns of phishing links on google results very handy. Combination of automated testing and user comments.
