5 Best Open Source Web Browser Security Apps
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
The Web browser acts as the gateway for myriad online services these days. Computer security problems are far from solved, and technology advances provide new ways for malware to infect our devices and enter our business networks. For example, smartphones and tablets offer fresh new fields for malware—and its malicious cousin, "[malvertising][1]"—to exploit.
|
||||
|
||||
Malvertising, or malicious advertising, injects malware into legitimate ads and ad networks. Granted, you could argue that there's a thin line between "legitimate" ads and ad networks and not-legitimate ads and ad networks. But don’t get distracted. Privacy and security are inextricably linked, and protecting your privacy is part of protecting your security.
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox, Chrome, and Opera are the best Web browsers; they offer the best performance, the most compatibility, and the best security. These five open source security apps install in your Web browser, and they protect you from a variety of threats.
|
||||
|
||||
### Protect Your Privacy: Open Source Web Browser Security Apps ###
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. [AdBlock][2] ####
|
||||
|
||||
Ad networks are wonderful malware vectors. A single ad network serves thousands of sites, so compromising one ad network equals many thousands of compromised machines. AdBlock, and its derivatives—[AdBlock Plus][2], [AdBlock Pro][3], and [AdBlock Edge][4]—are all great tools for blocking ads, which has the added benefit of making cluttery annoying ads-infested sites more usable.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course there is a downside: harming sites that depend on ad revenues. All of them have one-click whitelists, so you can selectively turn off ad-blocking on sites that you want to support. (Really, my dear Webmeisters, if you don't want your site visitors blocking your ads then don't be obnoxious.)
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/imagesvr_ce/5731/fig-1-easylist_1.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 1: Selecting additional filters for your Ad Blocker.
|
||||
|
||||
Ad blockers do more than block ads; they also block Web-tracking bugs and malicious domains. To turn on additional filter lists, click on your ad blocker icon > click **Preferences**, and go to the **Filter Subscriptions** tab. Click the **Add Filter Subscription** button, and then add **Easy Privacy + EasyList**. The Malware Domains filter is a good one to include as well; it blocks domains that are known to host malware and spyware. Adblock works with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, and Android.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. [HTTPS Everywhere][5] ####
|
||||
|
||||
HTTPS Everywhere browser extension ensures that you will never accidentally connect to a Web site with HTTP when HTTPS is available. HTTPS means your connection is encrypted with SSL (secure sockets layer), which is a commonly-used protocol for encrypting Web and email connections. HTTPS Everywhere is available for Firefox, Chrome, and Opera.
|
||||
|
||||
When you install HTTPS Everywhere, it asks if you want to enable the SSL Observatory. Say yes, as it offers additional protections against man-in-the-middle and bogus SSL certificate attacks. HTTPS Everywhere works with Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Android.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. [Social Fixer][6] ####
|
||||
|
||||
Social Fixer tames Facebook. It gives you mighty powers to filter your news feed so that you see what you want to see, creates tabbed feeds organized by topic, hides whatever you don't want to see, displays pictures full-sized on mouse-over, disables the Theater view of images, and lots more.
|
||||
|
||||
It's not really designed to be a security tool, but Social Fixer offers two important security features:
|
||||
|
||||
- It anonymizes Facebook pages for screenshots by replacing profile pictures with generic icons, and it changes usernames to fake names
|
||||
- It reliably blocks Facebook games, which are notorious sources of trouble
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. [Privacy Badger][7] ####
|
||||
|
||||
The Electronic Frontier Foundation's Privacy Badger is a superb tracker-and spy-ads blocker. These days Web pages are composed of content from multiple sources: ad servers, comments servers, content farms, image farms, third-party login servers, and gosh knows what-all.
|
||||
|
||||
AdBlock is good at blocking this junk, but Privacy Badger is better. It doesn't rely on filter lists, which have to be maintained by humans somewhere, but rather algorithms and policy methods, and you can easily override it if it blocks something in error. Privacy Badger works with Firefox and Chrome.
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/imagesvr_ce/9256/fig-3-privacybadger_1.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
Figure 3: Privacy Badger blocks tracking sites.
|
||||
|
||||
Privacy Badger should just work. Click on its icon to see what it's blocking on any site you're visiting. Try it on Huffingtonpost.com, one of the champions of stuffing the maximum number of third-party components into each and every page (Figure 3).
|
||||
|
||||
The sliders tell the status of each site: red means that site is completely blocked, so it can't set cookies or serve up any content to you. Yellow indicates a third-party domain that appears to be trying to track you, but it is on Privacy Badger's whitelist of allowed domains. Green is for a third-party domain that is not yet classified as a tracker, but this could change as you visit **multiple** sites and Privacy Badger observes its behavior.
|
||||
|
||||
You can set the sliders yourself according to your preference; for example, on one site I visited Privacy Badger blocked bazaarvoice.com, which some shopping sites use to host their customer reviews.
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. [Disconnect][8] ####
|
||||
|
||||
Disconnect is another anti-tracker and anti-cookie tool with a great feature set. It runs on Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari, and offers special iOS and Android versions. Not only does it foil trackers, it also secures your wireless transmissions (Wi-fi, 3G, and 4G) with its own virtual private network, protecting you from wiretapping and malvertising. It protects you from widgetjacking, which is a technique used by attackers to gain access to your sites that require logins. With widgetjacking they don't even need your password; they use stolen cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
Disconnect also provides a safe search feature that lets you use your favorite search engines while blocking their snoopy data-mining habits.
|
||||
|
||||
Just assume that everyone on the Web is out to get you. It's all abstract and behind the scenes, and not obvious like someone bashing a window to get into your house. But the threats are numerous and real, and you have to take precautions to protect yourself.

5大最佳开源的浏览器安全应用
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
浏览器是现在各种在线服务的入口。电脑安全问题迄今仍未得到解决,技术进步为恶意软件提供了新的途径,感染我们的设备,入侵商业网络。例如,智能手机与平板为恶意软件--及其同伙“[恶意广告][1]”--带来一片全新天地,它们在其中腾挪作乱。
|
||||
|
||||
恶意广告在合法广告与合法网络中注入恶意软件。当然你可能会认为“合法”广告与网络与非法广告与网络之间仅有一线之隔。但是请不要偏题哦。隐私与安全天生就是一对兄弟,保护隐私也就是保护你的安全。
|
||||
|
||||
Firefox, Chrome, 以及 Opera当仁不让属最棒的浏览器:性能最佳、兼容性最好、以及安全性最优。以下五个开源安全应用安装于浏览器后会助你抵御种种威胁。
|
||||
|
||||
### 保护隐私: 开源浏览器安全应用 ###
|
||||
|
||||
#### 1. [AdBlock][2] ####
|
||||
|
||||
广告网络为恶意软件提供了肥沃的土壤。一个广告网络可以覆盖数千站点,因此攻陷一个广告网络就相当于攻陷数千台机器。AdBlock及其衍生品—[AdBlock Plus][2], [AdBlock Pro][3], 与 [AdBlock Edge][4]--都是屏蔽广告的优秀工具,可以让那些充斥烦人广告的网站重新还你一片清静。
|
||||
|
||||
当然,凡事都有两面性:上述做法损害了依靠广告收入的站点的利益。这些工具一键式白名单功能,对于那些你希望支持的网站,你可以通过白名单功能关闭这些网站的广告屏蔽。(真的,我亲爱的站长们,如果你不希望网站访问者屏蔽你的广告,那么就适可而止,不要让人反感。)
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/imagesvr_ce/5731/fig-1-easylist_1.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
图1:在Ad Blocker中添加其它过滤规则。
|
||||
|
||||
Ad Blocker们不仅能屏蔽广告;它们还能屏蔽网站跟踪爬虫与恶意域名。要打开额外过滤规则,点击ad blocker图标 > 点击**首选项**,转至**过滤规则订阅**标签。点击按纽**添加订阅过滤规则**,然后加入**Easy Privacy + EasyList**规则。加入恶意域名过滤也是个不错的选择;它会屏蔽那些供恶意软件与间谍软件寄生的域名。Adblock可在Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, IE, 以及Android平台下工作。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 2. [HTTPS Everywhere][5] ####
|
||||
|
||||
浏览器扩展HTTPS Everywhere可确保在网站HTTPS可用的时候,总是以HTTPS方式连接到站点。HTTPS意味着你的连接是以SSL(安全套接层)方式加密的,SSL协议通常用于加密网站与电子邮件连接。HTTPS Everywhere可在Firefox, Chrome, 及Opera下使用。
|
||||
|
||||
安装了HTTPS Everywhere之后,它会询问你是否希望启用SSL检测程序。点击是,因为SSL检测程序会提供额外保护,防止中间人攻击与虚假SSL证书攻击。HTTPS Everywhere可在Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari, IE, 以及Android平台下工作。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 3. [Social Fixer][6] ####
|
||||
|
||||
Social Fixer驯服Facebook。它给了你一把尚方宝剑,你可以用它过滤“动态汇总”,从而只看到你想看的动态、生成按主题分类的标签动态、隐藏不想查看的动态、鼠标悬停图片时显示完整尺寸的图片、禁止影院方式浏览图像,还有其它更多功能。
|
||||
|
||||
Social Fixer本身不是安全工具,但它具有两个重要的安全特性:
|
||||
|
||||
- 它可以将Facebook网页截图中你的个人资料头像以通用图标代替,并以虚假名字替代你的用户名,从而起到匿名作用。
|
||||
- 它可以很可靠地屏蔽Facebook游戏,而Facebook游戏正是尽人皆知的麻烦制造者。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
图2: 使用Social Fixer匿名化Facebook网面。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 4. [Privacy Badger][7] ####
|
||||
|
||||
电子前线基金会出品的Privacy Badger是一款优秀的反跟踪与反间谍广告的拦截工具。现在的网页内容来源可谓五花八门:广告服务器、评论服务器、图片工场、第三方登陆服务器,以及其它种种不一而足。
|
||||
|
||||
AdBlock也能拦截这些乌七八糟的东西,不过Privacy Badger在此方面更胜一筹。Privacy Badger依靠算法与策略方法而非过滤规则,这样如果拦截出错的话,可以轻易重写,而过滤规则需要专人维护。Privacy Badger在Firefox与Chrome下均可工作。
|
||||
|
||||
![](http://www.smallbusinesscomputing.com/imagesvr_ce/9256/fig-3-privacybadger_1.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
图3: Privacy Badger拦截跟踪站点。
|
||||
|
||||
Privacy Badger装好后就能使用了。点击图标,看看它对你浏览的网页都拦截了哪些东西。你可以试试访问Huffingtonpost.com,这是一家不在每一个页面塞满第三方组件誓不罢休的网站(图3)。
|
||||
|
||||
滑块显示每个站点的状态:红色表示该站点被彻底拦截,不能设置cookies(缓冲数据),或者向你提供任何内容。黄色意味着第三方域名正试图跟踪,但是它列于Privacy Badger的允许域名的白名单之中。绿色表示第三方目前还未归入跟踪者之列,但是在你访问**若干**网站之后,Privacy Badger会观察其行为,并决定是否将其归为跟踪者。
|
||||
|
||||
你也可以根据你的偏好来设置滑块;例如,在我访问的某个网站,我用Privacy Badger拦截了bazaarvoice.com,一些购物网站使用这家站点来托管他们的客户评论。
|
||||
|
||||
#### 5. [Disconnect][8] ####
|
||||
|
||||
Disconnect是另外一款反跟踪反cookie工具,拥有众多功能。它可在Firefox, Chrome, IE, Safari下工作,并且为iOS与Android平台打造了特殊的版本。Disconnect不但能反跟踪,而且它使用自己的虚拟专用网络(VPN),防止窃听与恶意广告,使你的无线传输(Wi-fi, 3G, 4G)更安全。它可以防止部件劫持,而部件劫持是攻击者用于在需要登陆的网站获得访问权限的技术。通过部件劫持,攻击者无需密码,而只要使用窃取的cookies,就能获得网站访问权限。
|
||||
|
||||
Disconnect还有安全搜索功能,可以阻止搜索引擎爱挖数据的癖好,你可以安心无虞地使用你中意的搜索引擎。
|
||||
|
||||
想象一下,网页上所有东西都腾空而出,奔你而去。当然这一切都是抽象的且在幕后悄然发生,不象有人正在猛击窗户试图进入你家那么明显罢了。但是,威胁倒是实实在在的,而且数不胜数,所以你必须采取预防措施,来保护自己。
