For simple Internet tasks such as searching, updating of social-networking pages and viewing online videos, free browsers are more than enough to do the job. However, when it comes to bank transactions, you need something more secure like SafeCentral. This browser is based on Firefox, virtually stripped down to its bare essentials to avoid leaving security holes. Your home page is hard-coded to SafeCentral's portal page, which lists thousands of verified sensitive sites. Password management add-ons are all disabled, meaning you have to handle logging in to the secure site yourself. The left-hand side of the address bar will be green if the site you're entering has been verified. The reviewer noted that to protect your private information, SafeCentral minimizes the possibility of interaction with other programs. When SafeCentral is active, the desktop and the taskbar are dimmed and disabled. If you need to access a program, you just need to click on the desktop. This suspends SafeCentral and activates everything else. Using its own secure DNS system, SafeCentral avoids DNS poisoning. Keyloggers that were successful in snooping information from IE and Firefox were not able to extract a single byte of information from the SafeCentral browser. SafeCentral may slow down surfing a bit, but that’s a small price to pay for keeping your transaction as well as identity safe.
