Whois & Analysis for browserleaks.com

Browser security is the application of Internet security to web browsers in order to protect networked data and computer systems from breaches of privacy or malware.

Security exploits of browsers often use JavaScript — sometimes with cross-site scripting (XSS) — sometimes with a secondary payload using Adobe Flash.

Security exploits can also take advantage of vulnerabilities (security holes) that are commonly exploited in all browsers (including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Safari).

A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is a software application for retrieving, presenting and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web.

An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI/URL) that may be a web page, image, video or other piece of content.

Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related resources.

A device fingerprint or machine fingerprint or browser fingerprint is information collected about a remote computing device for the purpose of identification.

Fingerprints can be used to fully or partially identify individual users or devices even when cookies are turned off.

The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide.

It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies.

The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing.

Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.

The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes.

When something is private to a person, it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive to them.

The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information.

Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity.
