How can I trust Firefox!
I know it’s a bit late to write about “How can I trust Firefox!”, but that article is very interesting to read.
It is quite obvious: When you get executable files of any kind from a source you don’t trust, you cannot know what they really do. Even if such a program does exactly what its offerer says, it can do more. It can monitor all your activities and send to its offerer not only your internet behaviour profile, but also all passwords you use, addresses from your electronic address book, documents you work on, and everything from your computer which it considers interesting. Or it can just contain a virus which destroys all of your data (or may be even not all, may be only the most important of it). Never use untrusted executable files.
