The new best way to make sure that your browser is safe.

Browser plugins are rapidly becoming the most common way to get a computer virus infection.

Normally I lecture people about switching to Firefox, installing NoScript and checking at least monthly that Java and Adobe are up to date. The folks at Mozilla seem to be on a quest to save me from forever repeating those instructions, and I thank them kindly.

My instructions are now a bit simpler:

  1. Switch to Firefox

  2. Use this website to make sure that you are safe. https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

  3. Check back with the website weekly.
