Change it to “false” by right-clicking and choosing Toggle.Managing Adobe Flash Privacy.Adobe lists advice on how to disable Flash cookies on their website.http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/disable-local-shared-objectsflash.html.There are some problems with the options Adobe offers (for instance, thereis no “session only” option), so it is probably best to globally set Local Stored Objectspace to 0 and only change that for sites which you are willing to have tracking you. Onthe Linux version of Adobe’s Flash plugin there does not seem to be a way set the limit to0 for all sites and therefore its use should be limited or avoided. Luckily Tails does nothave flash installed, but in case you are not using Tails be aware of this.If you absolutely need to watch a video online, find a way to download the video to yourcomputer and watch it that way. This takes the browser out of the loop of processing avideo for you and eliminates those Flash cookies which help identify you.JavaScriptJavaScript is probably the grand daddy of all vulnerabilities in internet browsing. Themajority of exploits, malware, viruses and other computer take overs happen because ofJavaScript code executing in your browser. JavaScript has many uses. Sometimes it issimply used to make webpages look flashier by having them respond as the mouse movesaround or change themselves continually. In other cases, JavaScript adds significantly to apage’s functionality, allowing it to respond to user interactions without the need to click ona “submit” button and wait for the web server to send back a new page in response.Unfortunately, JavaScript also contributes to many security and privacy problems with theweb. If a malicious party can find a way to have their JavaScript included in a page, theycan use it for all kinds of evil: making links change as the user clicks them; sendingusernames and passwords to the wrong places; reporting lots of information about theusers’ browser back to a site. JavaScript is frequently a part of schemes to track peopleacross the web, or worse, to install malware on people’s computers. It is best to disableJavaScript (about:config in URL bar search for JavaScript and Toggle it to disabled)unless you absolutely trust the site or use the browser add-on NoScripts that comes withTails and is available in Firefox to at least selectively block malicious scripts. DisablingJavaScript outright is the best option though.Supposedly NoScript doesn’t block all Javascript even when it is enabled and no sites areon the whitelist. Not sure about that claim but I’ve seen people make it. There’s a Firefoxadd-on (which also works in Tor Browser) called toggle_js which lets you toggle theabout:config javascript.enable parameter through a toolbar icon so you don’t have togo into about:config. I find it quite useful.JavaScript can also reveal an alarming amount of information about you even if you areusing TOR or a VPN, including your browser plug-ins, your time zone, what fonts youhave installed (flash does this as well) and of course most browsers will send your useragent, meaning they tell the website what browser you are using and in some cases youroperating system! Some of these details may not seem very important, but collected as a
whole, it can make it easier to identify who you are online by almost generating a fingerprint of you with your specific settings related to your browser. Then as you hop aroundfrom site to site with your finger print, correlations and patterns can be drawn from thisand eventually linked to you if you are not extremely careful.Luckily, Tails and Whonix overrides the majority of this identifying information, so aslong as you use Tails with JavaScript disabled, or at the very least with NoScripts (Flash isdisabled automatically) then you can cut down on the amount of information you share.Needless to say, it is not always possible to browse with Tails, so these are things you needto be aware of when you are browsing with regular browsers on your native OS with yourbrowser of choice.See what your browser is revealing about you at this page below. You may wish to searchonline for other sites that check what information your browser is revealing about you. Ifyou are confident in your OpSec abilities, use the one below.http://browserspy.dk/
