Boost Your Browser Security With 5 Best Apps

   

Internet can be a dangerous place and it's no secret now. Even tech-savvy users can accidentally mistype a URL and land on a malicious site. But our concern is not only the internet malware. There are several legitimate sites which can also track your behavior. Here we'll provide you a list of five apps which will help you to improve browser security.

1. IObit Uninstaller: 

This is a free uninstaller for Windows, which is nothing new. There are lots of billion third-party uninstallers available, and Windows has its own built-in uninstaller. IObit Uninstaller doesn't focus squarely on applications like some other uninstallers. The program has an entire tab which is dedicated to browser toolbars and plug-ins. If you are using Internet Explorer, then the software can also remove ActiveX controls. It also supports batch removal so you don't have to remove one component at a time.



2. Adblock Plus for Internet Explorer: 

This might not be what you would think of as a browser security app. After trying a number of ad blockers experts are pretty happy with this app, which is not obviously perfect. But Adblock is able to eliminate the vast majority of web ads without distorting the web page in the process. Adblock Plus is also available for other popular browsers like Firefox and Chrome.



3. History Sweeper: 

It is designed to protect your privacy as it covers your digital tracks. Although most browsers have a "clear history" function and with History Sweeper history removal becomes a lot easier. The program has separate tabs for Windows, internet, and applications, and can remove a variety of history items from each. History Sweeper has built-in support for removing history from everything from the Google Bar to MSN and AOL. History Sweeper also supports Firefox and Chrome.



4. Sandboxie: 

Sandboxie protects system's integrity by running the browser in a sandboxed environment. By sandboxing the browser, malware can't access other parts of our system. One of the best parts about Sandboxie is that it's a "set it and forget it" applications. The application is can be installed simply and there are no intrusive interfaces to worry about. You just need to launch the browser through the Sandboxed Web Browser icon and you get started.



5. DoNotTrackMe for IE: 

Consumer behavior is tracked by internet marketers to deliver targeted ads, collect demographic data, and so on. Internet Explorer has some native tracking protection features but that's not always enough. That's where DoNotTrackMe for IE becomes necessary. DoNotTrackMe intercepts and blocks attempts if your online behavior is tracked. The software is very simple to deploy and you don't need to do anything special after it's installed. DoNotTrackMe alerts you as it blocks trackers. DoNotTrackMe is also available for other popular browsers, including Safari, Firefox and Chrome.
