3.FACEBOOK CONTAINER






Facebook Container isolates your Facebook activity from the rest of your web activity in order 


to prevent Facebook from tracking you outside of the Facebook website via third party cookies.






What does it do?
Facebook Container works by isolating your Facebook identity into a separate container that 


makes it harder for Facebook to track your visits to other websites with third-party cookies.


 


How does it work?
Installing this extension deletes your Facebook cookies and logs you out of Facebook.
The next time you navigate to Facebook it will load in a new blue colored browser tab 


(the “Container”).
You can log in and use Facebook normally when in the Facebook Container. If you click on a 


non-Facebook link or navigate to a non-Facebook website in the URL bar, these pages will 


load outside of the container.
Clicking Facebook Share buttons on other browser tabs will load them within the Facebook 


Container. You should know that using these buttons passes information to Facebook about 


the website that you shared from.

4.HTTPS EVERYWHERE






Encrypt the web! HTTPS Everywhere is a Firefox extension to protect your communications 


by enabling HTTPS encryption automatically on sites that are known to support it, even when 


you type URLs or follow links that omit the https: prefix.Many sites on the web offer some 


limited support for encryption over 
HTTPS, but make it difficult to use. For instance, they may default to unencrypted HTTP, or 


fill encrypted pages with links that go back to the unencrypted site.The HTTPS Everywhere


 extension fixes these problems by rewriting all requests to these sites to HTTPS.

5.LESSPASS 









LessPass generates unique passwords for websites, email accounts, or anything else based on a master password and information you know.



LessPass is different from other password managers that you can find on the Internet because:


    

  • It does not save your passwords in a database ;
    • 

  • It does not need to sync your devices;
    • 

  • It is open source (source code can be audited).
    • 




The system uses a pure function, i.e. a function that given the same parameters will always

give the same result. In our case, given a login, a master password, a site and options it will return a unique password.



No need to save your passwords in an encrypted file. You just need to access the tool to recalculate a password from information that you know (mostly the login).



To raise the cost of breaking your master password, the generation of the password must be time consuming, especially by brute force. So LessPass uses PBKDF2 with 100,000 iterations and a hash function sha-256.
