Move away from Arvixe – Horrible support

I’ve been using Arvixe as hosting provider for more than a year and I had problems since day one. At first support was very good and they were responding fast. After few months, I saw all kind of errors, 404, 500, 503 and more. Support was delaying to answer and by then they couldn’t find the issues. A couple of months ago I had 2 tickets opened for almost a month without response. After this month I got an email, I was happy that finally someone will help me with my issues. The email was that they closed all tickets due to huge number and to open again if it is critical. Not helpful at all. The huge number of support tickets doesn’t make me feel better, but worse. It only means that it is not only me with problems but a lot of others.

Android phones can be hacked due to a Chrome zero-day exploit

Security researches discovered a new Chrome zero-day exploit that can be used to hack any Android phone. Even the latest version has the vulnerability in the JavaScript v8 engine of the Chrome browser of the Android operating system. The browser comes pre-installed on almost all Android smartphones. All the hackers have to do is lure their victims to a malicious website. Exploiting that vulnerability, the website can gain administrative rights and install any malware application which will give them full access to the phone. The exploit was demonstrated at the PacSec conference in Tokyo 2015.

Firefox is the best web browser

I’ve created many posts to let the readers know which web browser is the best and most, if not all, of the times was Firefox. According to IT Pro, Firefox is still the best web browser out there and Mozilla made many changes since the last time. The comparison was done one month ago so it is up to date. I want to mention that the differences between the browsers are not big and it is a matter of preference. The main reason of my choice (Firefox) is the enhanced security and privacy, it proved it to me many times. Internet Explorer and Chrome auto accept any kind of certificate where Firefox doesn’t. Another reason is its add-ons, mostly because I hate ads so I want to block them. Google circumvented AdBlock Plus, one of the most popular ad blockers, to allow ads. The big plus of Firefox is that it is developed by Mozilla, a non-profit organization, and they have the user as priority and not the shareholders.
