Now a days, browsing the internet can be dangerous for your computer. Every time you visit a website, that website could send you all kinds of nasty bugs or steal information from your computer. Even trusted websites can not be trusted anymore because of the ads they display or the third party scripts they use for tracking users. Websites have a hard time controlling their advertisers. Hackers love to hide horrible surprises inside of ads, and steal all of your personal information using scripts. With IMVU's HP customization system, it practically turns their entire site into a cross site scripting / injection nightmare. Here are some internet browser add-ons that our staff recommends for protecting yourself against hackers on IMVU.

Script Blockers - these block known malicious JavaScript scripts that try to track, fingerprint, and steal your personal information. You have the option of individually allowing each site you visit to run scripts, giving you control over which scripts are ran in your internet browser. Warning, script blockers might break a website till you tell the script blocker to allow scrips on that site.
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nfo-dialog
Fire Fox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... /noscript/
Internet Explorer: comming soon

Ad Blockers - these prevent annoying and often dangerous ads from displaying on webpages.
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nfo-dialog
Fire Fox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefo ... ck-origin/
Internet Explorer: https://adblockplus.org/

Ad Block Hiders - these hide your ad blocker, so sites can not tell you to turn to off your ad-blocker, leaving you vulnurable to ads.
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... j?hl=en-US
Fire Fox: comming soon
Internet Explorer: comming soon

Referer Controllers - this prevents websites from tracking your browser history. It allows you to list sites that you do not want tracking where you have been and where you are going.
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nfo-dialog
Fire Fox: comming soon
Internet Explorer: comming soon

Site Blockers - this allows you to track websites containing keywords. We recommend that you use it to block *tracking* and *bluecava*, which will block the servers that IMVU staff use to spy on their users.
Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... nfo-dialog
Fire Fox: comming soon
Internet Explorer: comming soon

Mobile Chromium Browsers That support addons:
If you are on mobile, then you can install Yandex or Kiwi as your browser; which are versions of Chrome mobile that support the addons listed in the opening post.
Simply search Yandex or Kiwi in the app store, install the browser, and then install the Chrome addons listed above.

If you have alternative browser security ad-ons that you use / prefer, please share them in the comments bellow. Share your experience. Together we shall learn and grow stronger than any enemy who wishes to harm us.
