Recently Firefox has undergone drastic change from Firefox 29 final in the ui and support to Sync works on an account basis for syncing bookmarks, settings, history and tabs between machines. Like any other Web browser Firefox has also got in build download manager. The only thing we miss is that automatic translation of Web pages in to English language if its in some other languages, but there are addons like s3 translator to solve the issue. Today Mozilla released next stable version of Firefox called Firefox 36.

How to ensure that you get maximum privacy and access to restricted content because of geographical restrictions?

Firefox itself provide you some privacy by adjusting some settings like changing the default search engine to DuckDuckGo and by telling the websites that you need not want to be tracked. To access the restricted content or blocked content in your area there is no provision in the default package.

So how you can browse Internet without a concern for privacy and blocks?

Simple way is by switching to VPN or Virtual Private Network that will encrypt your sent and received data. Ok we know that some of you are still confused on choosing which VPN gives you maximum security with value for money as there are number of service providers out there in the market ?

If you are asking us, we will highly recommend HideMe as we are using it for more than 6 months and we didn’t experience any thing bad about it. What’s more?

It will also encrypt your browsing session even if you are connected to public wifi network and thus giving you maximum protection of your data and privacy.
