Newsfeeds
To read RSS/XML newsfeeds, you will require an RSS news aggregator. This can be some standalone software or an add-in to a web browser. I use Firefox web browser and the Sage add-in for Firefox. This allows you to add RSS feeds from web pages visited (e.g. the Newsfeed page on Tai4Freedom, BBC, Washington Post) using the 'find RSS feeds on this page' feature. Subsequently, click on the newsfeed link in Sage to see the news headlines displayed by the browser; clicking on a headline takes you to that news item. The instructions given by Firefox and Sage should be enough to help you through download and installation. If all else fails, contact us at webmaster@tai4freedom.info.

WEB SECURITY
The internet is a great place to research, explore new sites and communicate via e-mails and groups, etc. However, there are malicious marketing companies and individual hackers that can create havoc with your pleasure and disrupt your computer. This may be anything from a simple market research tool gathering a list of which sites you visit and reporting it, an unwanted pop-up or a virus that causes damage to your computer. So, please take care out there. As far as we know, this site is safe, but please take your own precautions. We use Norton Anitvirus, Norton Internet Security, and PC Tools Spydoctor, but check out what the internet says. Here are some useful links:
