TechByter Worldwide 2020-03-27: It's Time to Give Firefox Another Try. Short Circuits. Spare Parts.

Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers have the greatest market share, but now is a good time to take another look at Firefox if you value privacy and security. In Short Circuits: Although using Malwarebytes as the only protective application on a Windows computer seems not to be the best protection, running a copy of the free version is a great way to backstop the primary antivirus application. • Too many applications install unwanted "gifts" under the guise of being helpful. A small utility program called Unchecky can expose them before they've been installed so you can avoid them. In Spare Parts (only on the website): Crooks view the sudden shift to having employees work from home as an outstanding opportunity to plant malware and steal corporate data. • Freelance editors work from home almost exclusively and many of them have neat, tidy offices. Then there's my office. • Twenty years ago: A new service called Amadeus had just been created to give Scandinavians a way to book airline flights using their phones.
