Thanks for the talk. One point I picked up on was 'do your banking etc through a VM"
To date I have done my banking etc through a different user with minimum access. I use Firefox and check cookies.
So lets try a VM, in this case SUSE-13.2. I start up Firefox, go to my bank, and check the cookies.
The bank cookies are there, but so are those from Google and another from server.lon.liveperson.com. I delete those cookies, Google's reappears in a second or so, and the live person one comes back intermittently. There is also one there from doubleclick as well. None of these are in the non VM system.
So I have a mystery. why would Firefox in a SUSE-13.2 VM fetch more cookies than the Firefox as another user in Ubuntu.
Any suggestions welcome
Owen
