About This Extension
The Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension lets you carve out a separate box for each of your online lives – no more opening a different browser just to check your work email! Here is a quick video showing you how it works.
Under the hood, it separates website storage into tab-specific Containers. Cookies downloaded by one Container are not available to other Containers. With the Firefox Multi-Account Containers extension, you can...
Sign in to two different accounts on the same site (for example, you could sign in to work email and home email in two different Container tabs.
Keep different kinds of browsing far away from each other (for example, you might use one Container tab for managing your Checking Account and a different Container tab for searching for new songs by your favorite band)
Avoid leaving social-network footprints all over the web (for example, you could use a Container tab for signing in to a social network, and use a different tab for visiting online news sites, keeping your social identity separate from tracking scripts on news sites)

When the user fails to notice that the phishing page is fake, their login details or credit card information is sent to attackers. The stolen credentials and personal information are used to perform identity theft and fraudulent activities. Working as a Malware Researcher gives me a great opportunity to see many of these phishing attempts from the inside. In other words, I can see what’s behind the curtain. In most cases, phishing lures are just a very simple copy of a login page for Facebook, Google, banks, insurance companies, etc. The attackers include (...)

Finally, a new organisation is needed. It should be a co-operative IT company whose members pay an annual fee. (...) it should be an alternative to Gmail, Google Docs, Yahoo!, Hotmail and Dropbox.

Déjà vu plus ou moins ça mais bon // TED Talk Explains What’s Wrong With #Google and #Facebook | Death and Taxes

In the talk, the board president of MoveOn.org describes the invisible force in all of our online lives which he calls “algorithmic editing of the web.”

In short, he takes an example of a Google search of “Egypt” to show that two different users can be served vastly different results based on what they’ve clicked on in the past. He then uses this example to explain that “the #internet is showing us what it thinks we want to see, rather than what we need to see,” and how this limits our minds as well as the potential of the internet to connect. For me, my impulsive desire to watch kittens play with each other influences how Google sees me and what it serves me in results. It makes the act of clicking seem much less trivial.
