Is it “Just Browsing may not be
SAFE”?
I tried Just Browsing with not so old computer.
It froze when I tried to listen to some old radio
music of BBC.
I had 1 GiB of RAM.
I booted again with the same result.
My advice is for you to read all the instruction (I
have no time for that) given by their home page.
In fact I have copied its introduction below.
Arch Linux is one of those pure Linux derivatives
which (I had problom with it until Manjaro and Antegos came in) I
found it very difficult to master Arch Linux.
It is so pure it has one application (unlike other
Linux derivatives) fo one job
I am no novice to Linux and one who test Linux
distribution and write few encouraging lines for the developers to
keep improvng the distributions.
These guys and girls do it as a hobby (that is bit
of a problem) and not as daily bread winner.
Having said that, unlike Microsoft, they do not take
years to fix and patch.
Moment a bug is detected it is fixed within three
months, in the Linux community.
That is the level of comradeship.
In fact, there is an article on current Linux
magazine about Arch derivatives (read if you have time).
I do not think the problem is with Arch.
Even if they have they will fix it no time.
It is the problem with the Browser which tries to
load all the application in one go, just like Windows do, and take up
all the working memory.
That may be the reason for the freezing.
I just love Firefox from the days it was very tiny
(now of course it has metamorphosed to a Gorilla at the Dinner
Party).
Even now, it is my primary browser.
Maxthon’s Cloud Browser (?Sets You Free) has entered the fray.
I have not used it.
Mobile browser vulnerability lets hackers steal cloud computing time and material.
A novel technique based on
MapReduce could let hackers hijack computing resources used by
cloud-based mobile browsers and use them anonymously, according to
security researchers from North Carolina State University and the
University of Oregon.
There is no way out of out this menace you are spied from your spouse, friend, enemy to your boas and government.
The easiest way out is to not to visit or browse but make a physical or personal contact.
That is
how the secret service worked in good old days.
But my
recommendation is always a silky light weight browser for cloud
computing but with lot of reservation if it does not have security
built into it..
The nearest is Ice Weasel of Debian (I hope Debian
would put a Live CD with cloud computing in mind).
With that reservation, I recommend this to you
before parting with your money for USB key.
JustBrowsing is a bootable Linux "Live CD"
that does not make any changes to the existing operating system on
the computer. Enjoy a simple computing experience with only a web
browser (your choice of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome).
Bundled webapps include a calculator, text editor,
timer and more that are always one click away. Try JustBrowsing, it's
safe, secure and no install necessary.
Designed with old machines in mind.
Don't throw out your old computer, put JustBrowsing
on it!
No logins, no malware, no sluggish boot.
Perfect for guests. Boot from CD-ROM, USB, hard
drive, I-ODD, or Virtual Machine.
Releases are built with the latest version of
Firefox (stable) and Chrome (stable).
Both are loaded up with useful bookmarks and
sensible extensions "out of the box" with the freedom to
add your own and even to sync your profile with Firefox Sync or
Chrome Sign-in.
Privacy is important and your browsing history is erased when you
turn off the computer.
The default search uses DuckDuckGo which does not track your search history and does not "filter bubble".
Ad blocking is installed to protect you from misleading links and tracking advertisements. "Do not track" is enabled too.
JustBrowsing comes with a lockscreen to protect your privacy if you have to leave the computer and alerts you of intruders.
The JustBrowsing project is free and open source.
Based on ArchLinux i686 (32-bit).
Now available optimized for x86_64 (64-bit) too.
