Optional: Portable Browsers
Portable Web Browsers…
One of the benefits to portable Web Browsers in regards to stealth is the ability to move stealth accounts to different devices (So you can take your stealth accounts with you). And the ability to house all your stealth accounts under one main ‘User Account’ on your device. Interested?
Portable Web Browsers keep browser cookies completely separated and contained within it’s own installation folder. The only thing that isn’t contained is Flash Objects but that’s easily covered with the right browser add-on (discussed in a moment).
Lots of popular applications have portable versions. You could have FireFox portable setup on your USB drive (with browser cookies, bookmarks and settings all intact). Imagine having each of your accounts with their own portable browser ready to go? This means no worrying about user accounts! Of course you’ll still have to change your IP address between accounts but in general this will keep you a little more organized.
What do you need?
Note: I recommend setting up your portable browsers on a brand new ‘User Account’ on your device.
1. Create a New Folder on Your Desktop
Give that folder a name (Name it after your stealth account.) This folder will house your portable Web Browser, your account notes and any other details pertaining to your account. I recommend Firefox because it has a lot of support and plugins which makes working with eBay and PayPal easier.
2. Disable Flash
Once you have portable FireFox installed in the folder you created, your next step is to disable it’s ability to reach your Flash application (if installed). While it’s a portable version of Firefox it can still reach Flash and Flash Objects if allowed. I recommend installing the add-on Flashblock to lock down Flash Objects. Either have it disabled or have it set to remove Flash objects on browser close.
- Alternative: Go to Adobe’s settings page, click on the second tab and un-tick both both boxes and then the second to last tab delete all previous sites. Flash for portable Firefox will be disabled.
- Alternative: Chrome Portable, it has built-in flash and doesn’t store flash cookies in shared folder.
3. That’s it!
This setup makes organizing your accounts easier while keeping you safe.
