With all of the issues surrounding online privacy and internet snooping many are very concerned about having their personal information reviewed, logged, scanned and then stored away for sale by the companies that are tracking this. This issue is a very real one and as the companies we work for can (and do) put system in place to monitor, log and block certain types of traffic we are not surprised to see this become a very hot topic. The issue has become so large that there are multiple protests about privacy and personal data security happening in many countries. So what are you to do if all you really want is to check your Hotmail or maybe do some quick shopping without giving up all of your details? A Canadian company by the name of SurfEasy has a possible answer for you. So sit back, relax and read along as we talk about the SurfEasy Plug-in Privacy device.
Performance - On the performance side when we first plugged in the SurfEasy we were concerned that we would not get the same level of performance that we get from our regularly installed version of Firefox. We felt that the additional security, protections and the connection through SurfEasy’s network would slow things down. However this was not the case. We found that in an “Apples to Apples” comparison the SurfEasy browser with full protection performed just as well as a regular installation of Firefox and better than our Firefox mobile install. You can see some of this in our video overage of the SurfEasy below.
