My software is updated daily (at least), I have no AV-software (but Safe Browsing provides that functionality in the browser), most of my passwords are unique and strong enough, I use two-factor authentication (a.k.a. two-step verification) whenever possible, but I have no password manager. I don’t only visit websites I know, and I do share information (with friends).
I am using antivirus (CIS of course )
My passwords are strong enough and stored in a password manager.
I visit phishing and malicious websites to collect samples for community sake.
I even do not share some information with friends :-TU
What do you think about me? Which side am I on LOL
Few and updates applications is good. Of course it also matters what software, particularly OS and browser we use. I use Ubuntu 64-bit and Chrome beta. While no software is unbreakable, Chromium’s sandbox on Linux is pretty solid, and so is Ubuntu’s ASLR-implementation.
Thank you for the link.
Actually, I have to use Windows due to some CAD applications. There is no alternative on Linux distros.
I have a question, why do not you use Firefox?
In the future releases (after v41 if I am not wrong) , Firefox will get multi-process support.
But I have no idea about sandboxing.
Windows 8.1 or 10 and Chromium 64-bit is a decent browsing platform.
Why not Firefox? Well, you answered your own question. Chromium has a superior architecture, and due to Chrome OS, Google is working ■■■■■■■ the Linux-version of Chromium, enhancing security and performance, etc.
I only have Firefox on my Windows 7 x64. I can configure it well for my needs. But I cannot feel better while using Chromium. Lack of some extension supports and I always feel “I am getting spied”
Using Firefox beta means you will get Electrolysis (e10s) sooner.
On Linux, Flash Player for Firefox is obsolete ■■■■, stuck on 11.2 (still being patched, though), and without sandboxing. Chrome’s PepperFlash is up to date and sandboxed.
