What You Don’t Know About Your Browser

This days, we have all manner of browsers available for both
smartphones and PC users ranging from Opera, fire fox, google
chrome, safari browser and the likes. At the same time, it baffles me
alot because most people don’t really know what browers is ment’ for
including you reading this right now.

Have you ever wondered how manage so many people facebook
account is being hacked? Have you ever sat down for a moment and
think, how on earth did intruders hacked into your yahoomail , gmail etc
account while you didn’t give anyone your password? It is simple, they
simply adopted the “ dot principle”. Which means whatever you don’t
know, is greater than you even though it’s a dot.
So many people go to cyber café and mumuciously save their password
on public systems… should I call this ignorance?
Well, these are what you should know about your browser…
==>Private Browsing: Google calls it "Incognito mode" and you'll
occasionally see it referenced at "Private mode" . Private mode disables
tracking cookies, history logging, etc. so you can browse without any
record of the activity. This feature is especially handy if you have a
friend that needs to use your browser for a moment, or if you're trying
to access a web service from multiple logins, but really any kind of
browsing you don't want tracked and recorded is best done in Private
mode. In other words, no matter the sites you access on Private Mode,
it will never be stored on your browser or traced.
To access private mode on your Smartphone, open your
browser>>> Click on settings >>>Privacy and security and turn on your
Private browsing.
==>Password safety: Often when you access a secure site, your browser
will bring a pop up to save your password… Never save your password
except it’s your personal computer. This is one of easiest way to hijack
someone facebook account, yahoomail or gmail. I’ll show you what I
mean;
On Mozilla, click on Settings>>> options >>>Security , scroll down to
Saved password and you’ll see all the people who have used that
particular computer, email address and their password. If you are such
that normally use public computers, never hit the save password button
or else consider your account gone.
==>Know When to Switch to Desktop mode on Mobile: There are times
the mobile site of a blog might just be so awkward, some might even
not be enable for comment. Or if you want to see the desktop look
while using a mobile, you can decide to switch to desktop mode from
your mobile browser.
Go to your Browser mobile settings >>>Click on Developers mode >>>and
turn ON the desktop mode (it varies on all mobile devices).
You can add to the lists above.
