Content packs are provided for identifying a plurality of authorized web-based resources, wherein a web browser is configured to prevent access to web-based resources not identified by content packs installed in the web browser. Accordingly one or more of content packs are selected and installed in the web browser, and one or more featured resources are identified from a plurality of authorized web-based resources provided by the installed content packs. An account access page provided by the web browser is automatically configured with one or more access links corresponding to the one or more featured resources, with each featured resource providing a web-based entry point to one or more web-based resources made available by the installed one or more content packs.

Safe web browsing using content packs with featured entry points

A system and machine-implemented method for detecting and processing invisible elements within a web page. A web page is accessed to detect one or more elements in the web page. One or more criteria for identifying web page elements, which are invisible when displayed, are obtained. The one or more criteria are applied to the one or more elements. Based on the applied criteria, a determination is made that one of the one or more elements is invisible. A notification of the invisible element is provided for display.

Embodiments of the invention include a system, computer-implemented method, and a computer-readable medium for delaying the storage of data. Data that manipulates website data is provided from a web server to a client device in response to a request for a webpage. Data is initially stored in a temporary memory storage. The temporary memory storage is associated with a browser and stores data before data is moved to a persistent memory storage. A notification is generated that indicates that data was received and is intended to be stored persistently or manipulate, access or rely on website data in the persistent memory storage. Depending on the response to the notification, the system determines how data in temporary memory storage will be processed and whether data can be stored in the persistent memory storage or manipulate, access and rely on website data in the persistent memory storage.

Delay the persistent memory storage of website data to control data that is stored in the browser

A system and a computer-implemented method for processing a cookie description file are provided. A browser provides the cookie description file that includes meta-information associated with cookies that are associated with a domain. The meta-information includes cookie information specific to each cookie. The cookie description file is parsed and the meta-information associated with each cookie is extracted. The parsed meta-information is displayed in a user-readable format on a client device.
