Is your browser secure? Are you sure?

Oddly enough, I wasn’t sure that my browser was completely secure. So I found this pretty neat little tool called “Browser Security Test”, straight and to the point, don’t you agree?

This tool can check whether your browser is secure or not no matter what the outcome, and then, if you follow its instructions, it will tell you why exactly it isn’t secure. You can test for your browsers problems alone (the Webapp knows what browser you are using, don’t worry, this isn’t a bad thing), or you can chose to scan for all possible security holes, or if you want you can pick and chose a few tests. Picking only a few tests is good for re-testing purposes, if you know what test you failed why not only try to correct the one that you failed on, instead of re-checking all of them again??

All in all, I think that this is a great little tool that really only takes a few minutes of your time, and it never ever hurts to make sure you are completely safe, especially while you are on the internet and people could be watching you ever so closely..

Take the test yourself by going to this link, read the page, and follow it’s instructions. Other than that.. happy surfgin!
