today I will be showing you the privacy settings I use in Internet Explorer and Firefox there
will be a time stamp in the video description
for each browser so you can click ahead to your preferred browser
for Firefox you just go up to the menu button in the top right hand corner and you click
it then you click options then you go down to privacy in privacy put a check mark in
tell sites that I do not want to be tracked and then here under history you go to use
custom settings for history now you want to put a check mark in remember my browsing download
history remember search and form history accept cookies from sites and where it says always
accept third party cookies you put from visited so it will only give you cookies from web
pages that you visit and where it says keep until you want to select I close Firefox that
way when you close Firefox your cookies will be deleted then you want to put a check mark
in clear history when Firefox closes and then you click settings and here you want to put
a check mark in every single box you can leave site preferences unchecked if you feel like
it because that preserves the site preferences so for example if you go to a site and you've
chosen a certain color or font to be displayed for example on a forum board or another web
page then it will remember and that's not as big of a deal as the rest of the settings
are and then you just click ok the next thing you want to do is go to security and uncheck
remember passwords for sites that way if you ever let somebody else use your computer to
check something then they won't be able to access a page that you've accessed and it's
just a little more secure that way and the last place you want to go to is advanced and
here where it says offline web content and user data it will actually tell you if the
site is going to store any data but you can also clear it by clicking clear now other
than that that's pretty much all the settings I use for privacy in Firefox
for Internet Explorer it is a little bit more
difficult and it takes a little bit longer but what you want to do is go up to this cog
that is the tools you can also just press alt+x and then you want to go down to safety
and then you want to go down to turn on tracking protection and this will prevent you from
being tracked when you visit certain web sites so you click that and you can get a tracking
protection list online I won't do that now but it is pretty simple I use EasyList tracking protection
and you want to go back up to that cog and then safety and then turn on do not track
requests and you can click turn on and you also have to close the browser and open it
again in order for it to work the next thing you want to do is go back up to that cog and
then click internet options and then under internet options you want to go to browsing
history put a check mark in delete browsing history on exit and then when you click delete
you'll notice that it doesn't have download history form data passwords and tracking protection
active x filtering and do not track checked so you want to check all of those and then
click delete and you don't have to do that all of the time just maybe when you're planning
to let somebody else use the computer or planning to be away from the computer and somebody
else maybe using it and under settings you want to go to history and then set it to one
day its by default its set to twenty and if you set it to one day it will only keep history
for one day and that's as safe as you can get and then click ok and then you click apply
the next thing you want to do is go to privacy and then go to advanced and here it says first
party cookies and third party cookies now unlike Firefox you can't choose from visited
only you either have to accept block or prompt now the safest option for third party cookies
would be to choose prompt and then click ok you can also just leave the third party cookies
as accept other than that that's pretty much all you have to do for Internet Explorer now
you will have to restart your computer because of the do not track requests and it's not
just restarting your browser but you also have to restart your computer and then you
will be all set and ready to go with Internet Explorer of course these settings can be changed
according to personal preference these are just my settings
