NoScript Updated
Noscript is a security/privacy plugin. Firefox 57 left the old plugins behind. New plugins are now “Webextensions“. Bottom line is all plugins need to be rewritten for FF 57 and Noscript has been updated accordingly.

Not So Hidden
Surprise! Google Chrome’s incognito mode doesn’t hide your web activity.
“When you launch the incognito tab there’s this disclaimer there where we really try to help make it really clear to people that your activity is certainly still visible to the websites you visit and could be visible to your employer, to your school, and to your [internet service provide] of course”
Not So Random
“Windows 8 and later fail to properly randomize every application if system-wide mandatory ASLR is enabled via EMET or Windows Defender Exploit Guard”
I would say this would be patched quickly, at least I hope it would. Regedit workaround in article.
Not So Private
“You may know that most websites have third-party analytics scripts that record which pages you visit and the searches you make. But lately, more and more sites use “session replay” scripts. These scripts record your keystrokes, mouse movements, and scrolling behavior, along with the entire contents of the pages you visit, and send them to third-party servers. Unlike typical analytics services that provide aggregate statistics, these scripts are intended for the recording and playback of individual browsing sessions, as if someone is looking over your shoulder.”
Firefox: Noscript + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger
Chrome: uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger
Hey Eric. Thanks for this update. Glad to see that your recommendation for FF57 is Ublock, Privacy Badger and NoScript, as I have been using all three with FF for a while now and they all work great together.
Also, I wanted to say that the Net Neutrality iss ue has come up again. You had made a post about it several months ago and I was wondering if you could either repost it or make a new post addressing the issue. Here are a couple of links;

This link puts it in layman’s terms;

As always, thanks for the work that you do and know that it does not go unappreciated.
