Beefree
|
Beefree is an extension, also called add-on, for Mozilla Firefox.
It adds a new feature to Mozilla Firefox useful to help you to defend (a bit more) your privacy online.
It'll prevent to web search engines to know which links, of their search results, you're going to visit!
Beefree works in a very simple way. It'll detect whenever you're looking at the results of one online-search of yours. This is possible using a filter made on purpose per search engine. It's also the reason why not all search engines, worldwide, are supported; it's because every search engine has its own way to handle the search results, and every search engine needs a different filter.
When the list of results is printed and the page is loaded, beefree will create a list within all the links from inside the webpage and will extract the target-link from each link. Hence done, beefree will remove the clickable link and will replace it with a safe link, pointing to the target page. This new created link will look like the original one with only a few differences: only the standard HTML tags of the link are represented and the javascript code inside the link is removed.
When you're using a web search engine, beefree will also replace your User-Agent with a fake one. It'll be a random name generated on every session; and every search engine will have a different User-Agent!
To increase your privacy, beefree will remove the referer link out of your HTTP headers. This feature is used when you're surfing on web search engines but also when you're going to visit an external link found on a web search engine! HTTP referrers are a quite big issues for your privacy, because they can leak the keywords you used on a search engine to unknown websites.
Beefree can give you different information:
1. Title - This shows the title of the selected link!
The text after Title is the original title of the selected link.
2. Link - This says that beefree is enabled and has replaced the selected link, disabling all the javascripts on it!
The text after Link is the real target-link.
3. Tracker - It shows the tracking server detected by BeeFree!
The text after Tracker contains the name of the detected tracking server.
4. Trackers - If visible, it shows a chain of tracking servers!
The text after Trackers contains the names of all tracking servers detected.
5. URL - This shows the original link beefree has replaced!
The text after URL is the old target-link.
Furthermore, Beefree is a cross-platform Firefox add-on that will work on Windows, MAC and Linux.
