A cert.org guide that helps you configure your web browser for safer surfing. It starts with the question why you should secure your web browser and explains common web browser features like Java, ActiveX and Cookies. After that introduction the important part of the article begins with chapter 3 Vulnerabilities and Attack Vectors. Common vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting, Spoofing and Cross-Zone and Cross-Domain Vulnerabilities. The article does not explain everything in great detail but provides links to a in depth explanation.
The last part, How to Secure Your Web Browser, finally shows in detail with screenshots how to secure the internet explorer, mozilla firefox and safari. This is a great guide for everyone who wants a secure browser (who does not) but does not know how to achieve this goal.
