"paranoid" and "trusted" browsing

Hey Thistleweb,
Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your episode.
For a long time now, I have been using two profiles on Firefox. I have a "paranoid" and a "trusted" browsing profile. The "paranoid" profile does not allow cookies, scripts, etc., while the trusted does (but runs the great add-on "noscript" just in case. I believe I have better security because of this practice.
yours,

Profile Portability

Thanks for that episode. I just wanted to add that in my experience, Firefox profiles (i don't know about Thunderbird) are portable across different OS's. I have successfully coppied profile folders between Windows and Linux.
