Separate browser windows
I don't know whether this is a Windows thing or varies by browser.
My question is, if I have open two windows (not tabs) of Firefox, or two of Chrome, or two of any browser -- if I open, say, my bank account or other secure Web site in one window, is it sufficient for security to close that window after logging off, or should I close all open windows of the browser? Asked another way, when two windows are open in a browser, can a malicious Web site accidentally opened in one access the usernames and passwords I have typed in the other? If it matters, I don't let any browser store usernames and passwords; those are all in an external non-Cloud password manager. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://BrownMath.com/ http://OakRoadSystems.com/ Shikata ga nai... |
