Safer Browsing
I’ve been using the three pieces of software below since I read Gregor’s post a few days ago. While I don’t disable Flash or Java, I have done the other things he lists. Installing NoScript, TargetKiller, and the hosts file has speeded my surfing and caused no noticeable side effects.

here is what i am currently using to make browsing safer and less annoying:It's amazing how much faster and pleasant the web becomes if you take the garbage out..
- Use Firefox (duh)
- Don't install the Flash plugin

- Use NoScript to only allow javascript on a small number of sites
- Install this hosts file to remove most advertising
- Use TargetKiller to get rid of pages opening up in new windows
- Disable Java
