Thank you.

I know about that post by Logos and I'm fully aware about this, but that is not what I am asking for and thank you Bob.
Keep in mind I don't used Chrome browser my friend does all I'm saying is he doesn't have any good extensions security add-on like firefox that all.

Probably because it's a more secure browser to start with.:)

Will see if this is a more secure browser to start with.:) and I'm sure he'll comeback and ask that he got more problem with the Chrome browser and he knows I'm using firefox with all my goodies stuff ;), but he wanted to used the Chrome browser :-[

Thanks for that YoKenny ;D your legend.
What I don't fully understand and why chrome.google.com doesn't show very many extensions security add-on ??? is it because the features are to early to known available for Chrome users ???
-
Thanks for that YoKenny ;D your legend.
You're welcome. :)
I had to go hunting under Extensions:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore?category=ext
I tried typing adblock into the search area.
There are more items there than you can shake a stick at.

@ Speedypc: try these >>> NotScripts, BetterPopupBlocker, Ghostery

I stopped using ad-blockers in Chrome as they're slowing down the browsing (especially this one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom - adblock ). Most ads are blocked when blocking scripts so... if you want you can also add a flash blocker. Well I don't use it, just a suggestion: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gofhjkjmkpinhpoiabjplobcaignabnl

Thanks for that Logos ;D ;)

You could spend almost a lifetime checking out Chrome ad-ons or extensions ;)
I only use Chrome on my XP Pro system and it does not slow down browsing. 8)

[My friend is using Win. 7 Pro :-\ which is scaring the crap out of me with this new OS :o so I'm going over their to setup for him ::)
You'll want a Windows 7 system after you see it. ;D
By the way it comes with Windows XP Mode that comes as a separate download:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/features/windows-xp-mode.aspx
The extra $80.00 for that feature was not worth it for me.

XP Mode is already in the Pro & Ultimate version and I aware it not avaliable in the Home Version unless they wanted to pay extra $80.00 for that feature, and beside I'm not ready just yet to grab it ;D ;D ;D

Hey Speedy !
Maybe this post will be helpfull to you...
I made the switch cause i love Chrome's speed and the clean GUI. I don't care about mouse gestures, never used them and probably never will. The Gmail Checker Plus extension is just fine IMO and i never had any problems with it. For password manager i use LastPass anyway(just like i did on FF), syncing bookmarks and settings works fine for me so far, never had a problem with it. Since Pol isn't here to give us his usuall list of security extensions, for those of you that are on Chrome and want to try some security and privacy extensions, here are some security and privacy extensions i came across in my searches(i use some of them myself):
NotScripts (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/odjhifogjcknibkahlpidmdajjpkkcfn)
Better Pop Up Blocker (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/nmpeeekfhbmikbdhlpjbfmnpgcbeggic)
AdBlock (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom)
Ghostery (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/mlomiejdfkolichcflejclcbmpeaniij)
NOREF (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/dkpkjedlegmelkogpgamcaemgbanohip)
Secbrowsing (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/pgkcfihepeihdlfphbndagmompiakeci)
Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/fllaojicojecljbmefodhfapmkghcbnh)
Click&Clean (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod)
KB SSL Enforcer (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/flcpelgcagfhfoegekianiofphddckof)
BitDefender QuickScan (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/pdnkcidphdcakpkheohlhocaicfamjie)

Darth Mikey thanks for that ;D while I'm doing the research for him and to help out which add-on turn out better.
Darth Mikey did I remember years ago you had a storm-trooper avatar I'm I correct ???
-
***
Yes, he did. :)
***
-
Yeah i had several avatars, when i first joined the forum back in 2005 i didn't have any photoshop skills yet so Sash made a few avatars for me and i loved his avatars so much that i decided to learn photoshop myself. Back then it was Photoshop CS2 and it had a great program for doing animations with it called ImageReady so i started using that for making animated gif's. So now i am doing my own avatars and userbars but it was Sash that got me into it, so thanks Sash !
BTW Chrome doesn't yet support animated PNG files, FF and Opera are the only ones that i know that support them properly. A shame cause those avatars would look great in aPNG format. So i am stuck with the GIF format but to be honest you can still make decent avatars with the GIF format, they are just not as "clean" as they could be if they were aPNG(24bit images and 8bit transparency which is something you cannot do on GIF's).
Anyway, another nice extension for Chrome, not a security one but it sure makes it easier to navigate Chrome's about: pages and settings:
ChromeAccess (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/aeoigbhkilbllfomkmmilbfochhlgdmh?hl=en)
EDIT: Fixed the link, now links to the english page...

As long as you have a pre-existing XP license, you should be able to use that for free.

I do not have Windows 7 Professional as indicated by my signature.You are not eligible to download Windows XP Mode. You must have Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate to run Windows XP Mode. To upgrade visit Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade.
-
Ahh... gotcha. :-[
Sorry, all my experience with Win 7 is Pro and Enterprise. Totally forgot about the stipulations that come along with it.
My bad!
-
But I and any one else have a perfect right to give our opinions.
Yeah, but it's kinda... offtopic here, no?
Also - your argument that "WOT is user based, thus its unreliable" is invalid. WOT works most of the time at the very least. Think that site's rating is unfair? Ask about that on their forum. If site really doesn't deserve that rating, they'll fix it soonish. Otherwise, you make no sense - you just complain about something which actually works almost perfectly...[/offtopic]
-
yhey'll fix it soonish.
And how many years is that ???
-
WOT or Xmarks?
-
WOT or Xmarks?
what's that for? increasing your post count? your post means nothing basically ::) what does Xmarks have to do with Chrome security extensions (or WOT... related above).
-
No WOT in my computer. Mental sanity :)
-
agree that WOT is a piece of junk, absolutely useless.
-

Judging by this statement, I guess that... you had negative experience with WOT forum, and now you claim that the whole thing sucks? Very clever.
Also, none of you provided any reason of why you are WOT-haters(except "its user-based" nonsense). Seriously - if you like critizing stuff, at least critise it constructively.
also - why the heck you're adding typos while quoting stuff I write?
-
agree that WOT is a piece of junk, absolutely useless.
Okay look... WOT is user-based, yes. Guess what. Such systems work rather well... look, doesn't Avast itself have user-based virus submission? Sure, scammers may submit their virus as false-positive or a regular program as a virus - not like that happens often, right!? Right. Konversation terminated.
-
"K"onversation terminated ... hmm you can't decide that; feel free to leave the thread though, that's your damned right ;D
When I see a WOT page showing at the same time something like:
useful, informative >>> 4 users
good site >>> 6 noobs
contains malware, phishing etc...>>> 2 users
reminds me of my sister in law... >>> 6 users
what the hell am I supposed to do with that? see screen shot. As to comparing WOT to Avast... WOT users don't submit anything btw, except their opinion, as opposed to files submitted to Avast... so what are you talking about? that's not serious. WOT is just a rating tool, based on ratings :D ... indexing web content, indexing your browsing, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they were selling the data.
-
Okay is my question their are some people used WOT and some people don't used WOT right ??? then they can do whatever they choose who cares.
So my real question is what kind Secure Web extensions security add-on that you people used beside Finjan that doesn't working the latest Firefox browser and WOT, because I cannot for any more Secure Web extensions security add-on something that I never heard or seen before.
IF WOT is a piece of CRAP I've wouldn't have used in the first place, so which kind of Secure Web extensions security add-on is available.
-
[...]so which kind of Secure Web extensions security add-on is available.
Use NoScripts (alternative to Firefox's NoScript) to block potentially dangerous stuff from sites. Works rather well.

Why can't you just use the chrome sync function to "backup" your settings? It's been working fine, even cross-platform for me.
Even brings my apps, themes, and preferences over to any machine that I set up to work with it. I've noticed that others have said it's buggy before, but the only thing that I've seen is that my themes get a little screwy after a while. I just download them again and everything's fine.

sync feature can't be considered as a backup option, because if shit happens, shit just syncs ;D

Personal opinions have absolutely nothing to do with Safety.
This again point out the flaw that's prevalent through out the WOT ratings. When you allow personal opinion to sway the facts,
then we are talking about popularity not Safety.
