1. Przeglądarkę koniecznie uruchamiamy w sandboxie (piaskownica, środowisko izolowane z ogr. uprawnieniami) Linux np. firejail, jest wiele, Windows - sanboxie, koniecznie bo jest podatny, z telemetrią i wieloma backdorami. 2. Wybór przeglądarki - ja omijam zamkniętym kodem i wszystko od googla czy ms. Niestety np. Brave przed korzystaniem trzeba skonfigurować np. wył. pinga do centrali i zrzuty danych po awari itp. itd - ważne że daje się to ustawić. 3. Włączyć podsłuch ruchu , zrzut pakietów, albo mieć firewalla na małym terminalu hp,dell ok.100zł polecam IpFire. Wtedy monitorujemy ruch, proxy + accelerator cach przyspieszy, możemy uruchomić sobie server ftp itp. Bez zastosowania tych podstawowych zasad rozszerzenie nie ma znaczenia. W informatyce (i w życiu) warto trzymać się pewnym założeniom, moje to : ZASADA OGRANICZONEGO ZAUFANIA i Cały system jest tak silny jak jego najsłabsze ogniwo. Pozdrawiam -= ArO =-.
