History Block for Firefox

Saturday, July 11, 2009 | Category: ,
HistoryBlock is a Firefox add-on that works like Google Chrome's Incognito mode or Internet Explorer 8 / Firefox 3.5 Private browsing mode but with a difference. You don't need to switch between the modes, instead HistoryBlock automatically clear your browsing history of a website that you specified.

After installing the add-on, click the "Options" button under the add-on and add a hostname to be blocked (example ebay.com, yahoo.com, google.com etc.). It will clear your surfing data from the history tab, cookies, the recently closed tabs list, and the download manager list.

Alternatively, now you can simply right-click on a page that you visit and hit "Block This!" from the context menu. It will automatically add the hostname and/or sub-domain of the current page to the blacklist.

Install HistoryBlock from Mozilla’s add-on site.

Friday, July 10, 2009 | Category: , ,
NotMyIP is a freeware proxy tool, like Ultrasurf, which masks your identity. If you use it when surfing website operators will never be able to trace your real IP address since you will get a new one. So it will protect your internet privacy and security.

The advantages of using proxy are: by hiding users unique IP address it lets surf the internet anonymously, protect their internet privacy and security, allow visit any public web sites in countries with heavy Internet censorship.

The main advantage of NotMyIP over Ultrasurf is its ability to automatically configure all browsers to use a certain proxy. No need to install add-ons or to manually configure browsers like IE, Firefox, Opera or Safari, just install it and the IP address is changed or hidden.

However, here at my location surfing speed is bit slow when surfing through NotMyIP. Download the program from programs home page.
