Nice find! I'm glad to have CookieSafe back! I notice it now scans for tracking cookies and blocks bad cookies. A useful feature in Ubuntu where we don't have spyware scanners or SpywareBlaster.

"PS 1 As for my board name, google it and you'll find the origin.  I thought it's well known fairy tale but I admit it's not wise to use it as a board name.   Embarrassed"

You think in English, rumpel*?*¿**;

have you ever considered that names change with different countries and cultures, that in latin or notanglosaxon cultures the name of the rose is different?

and Bob thinks in american, which is a kind of English

Hi sopadeajo,

A good search brought me the idea that your nick is Castillian. See the picture below. Security and privacy breeches mean a threat, but a good searcher can do a lot, and I do not need Googlehacks for that. At least you do not have an excuse for leaving over stale bread....

On-topic, there is a continuing discussion on this subject going on here:

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

Gmail connects through https. It's already a secure connection.  :)

Yes, David, I usually follow the rule and I don't know why I overlooked this one...  Seeing even FWF in our club, though, I feel less embarrassed.

I'm well aware of it as well as the fact that this is an English board.  ;)

Well, a British once said, "We have really everything in common with America nowadays except, of course, language."

Yes, Zine is more specialized in topics about Firefox.

Gmail makes it sure that the user passwords keep in secure connection but it is not so with other content of mail if users don't intentionally choose secure connection.  CustomizeGoogle makes it sure that the information exchanged between the users' computers and Gmail servers stay in secure connection.  However, of course, I may be speaking the language of paranoia.  ;D
