Firefox and NoScript – Most Secure Browsing

March 24th, 2009 · No Comments · Auro News, General News

At Auro Infotech we pay particular attention to the browser we are using and the nature of data that goes back and forth between the internet and our employee machines.

After detailed research on the best possible security alternatives, we have decided to stick to Firefox browser as a browser of our choice, with NoScript addon, which has proven to be the number one security add on for Firefox.

Firefox has very good security features that helps us focus on our work and not worry about the viruses and worms that are spreading fast on the internet. We always ‘check’ one option in Firefox:

Tools – Options – Advanced – General – Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page.

The above option makes sure we are not redirected to any page unknowingly.

NoScript AddOn in Firefox comes in handy with many security related features including protecting against clickjacking and XSS attacks. We always check the ‘Temporarily Allow this page’ to allow javascripts to run, when we know for sure what the site is going to do. Also, it has been ages since I ever saw a popup ad while I am browsing – thanks to Firefox and NoScript.

Though we have Firefox and Internet Explorer, our team members have been advised to use Firefox only for their browsing needs.  The QA team does use all the browsers as required by the QA Testing Process at Auro Infotech.
