Be daring, use something different and see for yourself! Doesn't have to be Bing that was an example, many others out there… Also if you use firefox and you want an add on to add Bing as the default search engine in the in built search engine, please go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/10434/addon-10434-latest.xml?src=addondetail AND BING DOESN’T TRACK YOU LIKE GOOGLE DO – lol yet… But the point is they don’t at present where as the evil google blatantly do! I agree, download latest firefox (3.5.1 at time of writing)

Then go to add ons (just gooogle firefox add ons) and download:
NoScript (superb and you can block google analytics with it, as well as anything else)
Better Privacy (deletes all those super cookies and flash lso’s that doing a normal delete all and cleaning out ya temp files won’t get rid off, nor will even a dedicated program like cc cleaner etc as good as that is, so it’s essential in my own opinion)
Ad Block Plus (fantastic lil program)

And others that are good but in no means security related are:
Dictionary (your own language of choice of course)

Tab Mix Plus (for some reason, Mozillas addon page does not have compatitble version with the latest firefox :S wierd, but below is a link to the addonn authors page which goes to a dev link which is totally 100% compatible :)
http://tmp.garyr.net/tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi

Colourful tabs (pretty much self explanatory lol)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/1368/addon-1368-latest.xpi?src=addondetail

Hope that helps, adios

I am disagree to the step 10 "How to secure your wireless network" because those who don't have internet network can use the wireless to surf the internet if it is unsecured. They use the wireless to do their reseach and for other useful purposes. awesome blog!!

When I found YesScript, I disabled NoScript to give YesScript a test run. It wasn't much longer before I uninstalled NoScript. YesScript doesn't take me to their homepage every time it's updated (yes, I know that can be turned off in NoScript, but the option was kind of buried). There's not a zillion options in YesScript like with NoScript (that might not be a good thing for some, but was great for me). YesScript hasn't been in any recent scandals either: http://adblockplus.org/blog/attention-noscript-users All sites are allowed full script privileges until I click on YesScript's icon, then that site can no longer run scripts, unless I click on it again (and reload -- it's not auto-reloaded).
