Protect Your Online Privacy

Are you concerned about all the tracking that goes on while you surf the Internet? Users of the Chrome browser have a new weapon against the invasion of their privacy.This works for Firefox also b ut there seem to be a lot of problems with this extension in Firefox. It is an extension that makes it really easy to configure the privacy settings for Google, Facebook, and many other sites. It is called PrivacyFix and has just been released. The description and download are here.

When you run the extension, it provides an analysis of your privacy settings for Facebook and Google, and it lists all the cookies currently tracking you as you browse around the Internet. The extension takes you to each site to make fixes and provides a clear explanation of changes in privacy settings that can be made. An example for Facebook is shown in the figure below.

If you are concerned about what use the extension itself might make of your private data, here is a statement of privacy from the developer:
“We do not receive or store any data associated with your use of Privacyfix unless you voluntarily send it to us. Period.”

The extension is brand new and I have only used it for a day but so far I really like how easy it is to configure various privacy settings. If you try it, let us know what you think.

More details on how to use the extension can be found at this link.

Install Incompatible Android Apps From Google Play

 

Some Android apps on Google Play claim to be incompatible with various devices. There’s a good chance that these apps will run fine on many of these devices – you can bypass this check with root access.

Some apps won’t actually work after you install them, but many will. This also solves problems with games that will install but refuse to play – for example, Gameloft games with the “this device is incompatible” message.

Setup

To perform this hack, you’ll need to root your Android smartphone or tablet. After you do, you should install ES File Explorer from Google Play.

Editing Build.prop

The build.prop file contains a few strings (bits of text) that identify your device model. If you edit this file, Google Play and other apps will think you’re using a different device than you actually are. Be very careful when editing this file – we’ll just be editing a few tiny parts of it. If you edit other parts, you could cause serious problems with your device.

First, launch the ES File Explorer app. Open its Settings screen and enable the Root Explorer and Mount File System options. You may also want to enable the Up to Root option on this screen, so you can easily tap the Up button and navigate to your root directory.

 

Navigate to the /system/ directory on your device and locate the build.prop file.

 

You should create a copy of the original build.prop file elsewhere – long-press on it, select Copy, and then Paste it into another folder – say, your /sdcard/ folder.

 

Now you’re ready to edit the file. Long-press it, select Open As, select Text, and select the ES Note Editor app.

 

Look for the ro.product.model and ro.product.manufacturer lines. These are the important ones.

 

Change these lines to pretend your device is another model. For example, to imitate a Nexus S, use these lines:

• ro.product.model = Nexus S
• ro.product.manufacturer = samsung

After making this change, tap the menu button and select Save.

 

Final Steps

Go into the Settings screen, select Applications, select Manage Applications, tap the All category, and select the Google Play app. Clear its cache and data, and then restart your device

 

Open Google Play and you should be able to download apps that claim they’re not compatible with your device. Games that detect your device should also work, too – Gameloft games seem to be particularly guilty of this. Some apps may still not install or work with your device for other reasons — for example, Google Chrome won’t work on pre-Android 4.0 devices, and some apps may be restricted to certain countries.

Access Blocked Websites[firefox and google chrome] :-

A cool Firefox and chrome plugin enables users to access the blocked websites or the sites that are blocked in few regions say torrents blocked in India or some websites which are accessible only for US or UK users etc. So today i am going to tell you how to use that Firefox and Chrome plugin to access blocked sites or regional website.

Some websites like Netflix or Hulu are only accessible to US residents, similarly, there are many other websites which may be blocked by your ISP, your school or college, etc. Stealthy is a handy add on(plugin), available for Google Chrome and Firefox, which can solve this problem.

Stealthy allow users to access blocked websites by setting up a working proxy on your browser with a click of a button. What Stealthy does is that it search for different proxies online and use the best one based on your location and setup a new IP so that you can access blocked websites.As with all other extensions, Stealthy once installed, a small red airplane icon will appear right next to your address bar in Google Chrome, which means that Stealthy is disabled. Click on it to enable Stealthy and enter the URL of the website you want to access.

Access blocked or restricted sites using Stealthy

Stealthy provides users with four different options to choose from – Pro USA, Pro UK, Normal and Customized. Under USA, it allows you to use services such as Hulu, Netflix, etc. that are accessible only to USA residents. With UK option, you will be connected to internet as if you were in UK so that you can access UK restricted websites. With Normal, it gets a proxy from a random location to access websites that are blocked in your region but are available in the rest of the world. If you want to use a country specific proxy, use the customized option otherwise you can stick to normal. If you don’t want Stealthy to work on any specific website, you can add them to the Bypass list.

Note : Enabling Stealthy may slow down your internet so it’s better to keep it disabled if you are browsing regular websites.

 

How to download web videos without software

Welcome Back guys , i present you How to download web videos without software . Well this actually is not any sort of hacking its just a concept of temp file ie when we watch any videos , in actual the video is getting downloaded which is unknown to us , so we are going to save the video from that location where it is being temporarily downloaded.

how to save videos watched in google chrome browser.

Please note this is applicable only to Google chrome browser. This would be helpful in case if you haven’t installed any software that governs your download. First u need to UN HIDE all your hidden files and folders by following the video. Once you done that the rest of the process is easy. The very important thing to note is that the file initially will not be supported by any player. So you need to drag the file to VLC media player in order to play. The file with high size is your video file. Do not select the files named as “DATA”. It’s a data file and will not be supported by the player. The cache folder stores data temporarily so it is important to copy the necessary video file to your preferred destination before it is replaced with some other file.

Thank you.

This was simple though many of you might be aware of this but still i felt like sharing it with you all.
