LastPass Password Management

I've been really pleased with LastPass as a password management plugin for Chrome. It has the ability to store and generate complex passwords for all your sites as well as store encrypted notes about each one.

Just make sure to turn off the "Automatically Fill Login Information" option if you work in Systems Administration. Just the other day it updated this information on a site I was using without me noticing. I had to scramble for the valid username and password before systems started throwing alerts.

Browser History Fail

I just wish Chrome had better History management.

76% Web Users Affected By Browser History Stealing: "An anonymous reader writes 'Web browser history detection with the CSS:visited trick has been known for the last ten years, but recently published research suggests that the problem is bigger than previously thought. A study of 243,068 users found that 76% of them were vulnerable to history detection by malicious websites. Newer browsers such as Safari and Chrome were even more affected, with 82% and 94% of users vulnerable. An average of 63 visited locations were detected per user, and for the top 10% of users the tests found over 150 visited sites. The website has a summary of the findings; the full paper (PDF) is available as well.'

New Chrome EULA

I like the changes to Chrome EULA. It looks much better...

11.1 You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.

I can't imagine what they were thinking with the previous one. It must have been a mistake. Especially for an open source project. Glad to see the changes are retro-active too.
