Private/Stealth Browsing in firefox 3
There are times when you want to browse the internet in a stealth mode without leaving any traces behind. Firefox has an extension ‘Stealther” which does this for you. It conveniently takes care of the following taks for you to leave your computer invisible on the web. First it temporarily disables the following:-
- Browsing History (also in Address bar)
- Cookies
- Downloaded Files History
- Disk Cache
- Saved Form Information
- Sending of ReferrerHeader
- Recently Closed Tabs list
PS : None of the affected options gets cleared totally as opposed to some other extensions which enable you to wipe these privacy issues with a single click, but at the same time leaving you without the history of your frequently visited websites.
Usage:
- [Tools / Stealther] menu option
- Toolbar button
- Statusbar icon (thank you Dreadnaut)
- [Ctrl+Shift+S] keyboard shortcut (customizable)
