Doesn't have to be Bing that was an example, many others out there…Also if you use firefox and you want an add on to add Bing as the default search engine in the in built search engine, please go tohttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/10434/addon-10434-latest.xml?src=addondetailAND BING DOESN’T TRACK YOU LIKE GOOGLE DO – lol yet… But the point is they don’t at present where as the evil google blatantly do! I agree, download latest firefox (3.5.1 at time of writing)

Then go to add ons (just gooogle firefox add ons) and download:
NoScript (superb and you can block google analytics with it, as well as anything else)
Bad Privacy (deletes all those super cookies and flash lso’s that doing a normal delete all and cleaning out ya temp files won’t get rid off, nor will even a dedicated program like cc cleaner etc as good as that is, so it’s essential in my own opinion)
Ad Block Plus (fantastic lil program)

And others that are good but in no means security related are:
Dictionary (your own language of choice of course)

Tab Mix Plus (for some reason, Mozillas addon page does not have compatitble version with the latest firefox :S wierd, but below is a link to the addonn authors page which goes to a dev link which is totally 100% compatible :)
http://tmp.garyr.net/tab_mix_plus-dev-build.xpi

Colourful tabs (pretty much self explanatory lol)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/1368/addon-1368-latest.xpi?src=addondetail

Hope that helps, adios

It allows you to preserve only the cookies you want from a site. I was removing cookies with a script in FF2.x but it was per site so I had no control over specific cookies within a single site. CookieCuller lets me do that.FlagFox is a winner, too.Great list. I prefer CookieCuller to the cookie-related addons here. It allows you to preserve only the cookies you want from a site.
