My Reviews
Secure Google Search
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Nice.
I recommend changing the icon that's on the toolbar to distinguish it from Google unencrypted 's icon.
Link Status
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
For those concerned with their browsing privacy:
Websites using a certain method that exploits the fact that the links that you visited have a different color, can see the most popular of the websites that you visit (like http://startpanic.com/ shows you).
To avoid this you can go to about:config, find layout.css.visited_links_enabled and double-click it to change to "false". The disadvantage is that you can no longer distinguish the links that you've already visited. So here is where this addon comes in, which seems to work via a different way than the one that websites can exploit.
This is the deal as I understand it (and someone who knows more can correct me if I'm wrong). I know there are also other advantages of this addon, but I send this message for those who like me are concerned mainly with privacy/security.
Review: It works great. I would appreciate also if you could make an additional way of viewing the link status messages, instead of showing them in the status bar. I usually have the status bar disabled and I had to enable only for this addon.
Thanks
Ixquick HTTPS Privacy Search Engine
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Very good review by rwizard.
I wanted to add my 5 stars for this addon and I wonder how come so many firefox users look for internet privacy yet so few downloads and reviews for this addon.
Of course you can't be sure that this engine does what it claims but I searched around and it seems to be true.
To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
