Security Tweaks

Improve your online security with few tweaks via toolbar popup!

Security Tweaks is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your online security effortlessly. Featuring eight robust security options accessible through a convenient toolbar popup, it allows you to selectively block ads, third-party JavaScript, cookies, inline scripts, Flash content, and malicious URLs. Additionally, it enables safe browsing and disables potentially unsafe functions like window.eval().

The intuitive interface lets you customize settings related to JavaScript, inline scripts, and cookies, with default selections for quick setup. Created in collaboration with Yubi and inspired by the Speed Tweaks extension, Security Tweaks offers an effective way to tighten your browser security without compromising usability.

Once i enable any of the following options "Tweak 2: Block third-party Javascript" and Tweak 7: Disable window.eval()" i can't use any Ajax based login pages just like Google's one and "Tweak 5: block all inline scripts" i can't use any submit form or forms similar to Google's "Suggestion feed or 'Was this helpful ?' feed"

I have 8 Browsers on my computer. I am a Securityholic. There simply isn't enough security short of disconnecting. eBay recently has been forcing accepting Cookies. eBay is a GREEDY Monopoly and the biggest fence in the world. Want anything FAKE, Millions of $$$ of stuff is selling monthly on ebay. They are Disingenuous to say the least. I won't authorize eBay to collect data and cookies. I tried everything to stop the the notices to "Accept". I installed Security Tweaks. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a Network Engineer of the infrastructure of the Internet and security Specialist. I am quite careful about data collection. I don't use Win 10 as a result. Win 10 is the biggest Virus in the world collecting data for Microsoft. Enough of that. After installing and not having to configure, this wonderful extension blocked all notices for extensions and cookies. 5 Stars is simply not enough in this situation I have 21 extensions on each of my browsers. Overkill, perhaps, But I brows safely. I have fixed many computers over the years. Resolved many security leaks and even repaired a computer that had been setup as a Drone processing false transactions in the east. This extension does what it claims. It does it automatically and without interaction. Thanks to the developers of this extension.
