Select the Content tab next.
If you’re a parent then the Content Advisor may be of
some interest to you. This can censor any questionable
material that may be inadvertently accessed while online.
Select Enable if you want to enable this
feature and use the Settings button to custom the
options for this further. Note – If you do intend to censor
certain content on Websites then you’d be best of actually
purchasing Software that does this, as it will
invariably work better and more reliably.
The Certificates section can basically be skipped
over. Now select the AutoComplete button, which
allows you to customize how the AutoComplete feature works.
Web addresses.
Select this setting to enable Auto Complete to
display a list of previously entered URL’s when typing in a
URL with a similar address (This list is obtained from your
History), e.g. if I were to type in www.micro,
AutoComplete would display the following URL’s based on the
address currently typed, removing incorrect URL’s as I type
out the remainder.
Note – You should also have Use inline AutoComplete
selected if you wish to use this feature. From this
list you may see the address you are looking to enter, so
simply selecting it will save you the hassle of re-typing
the address again.
That said, if you have your History stored for a long
time (See the General tab) then enabling this
might cause too much clutter as you’ll have too many URL’s
to scroll through. Unselect to disable Auto
Complete for Web addresses.
Forms.
Select this setting to enable Auto Complete in
Forms. This is fairly useful and can save time having to
re-enter basic details such as your Name, Address, etc. in
many forms online. Simply click into a data field and a drop
down menu should appear with the required detail in it.
Unselect this setting to disable this feature;
this may be of some use on shared computers.
User names and passwords on forms. Select this setting to enable Auto Complete
for Usernames/Passwords. Similar to the setting above this
will display a drop down menu whenever you click into a data
field requesting your Username, e.g. to login to a Forum.
Select the Username as appropriate from the menu and the
Name should be entered into the field, along with the
relevant password into the Password field. You’ll have to
log into such areas at least once so this information can be
stored however (You’ll be prompted to Save the
Password).
A sub-option available here is Prompt me to save
passwords setting. Select it to be asked if you
want to save your passwords for use when asked for your
Username in forms (when the Username is entered, the
password is also). Unselect this to disable
this feature: highly recommended if your computer is shared
and you don’t want others to get access to password secured
sites.
Unselecting
the User names and passwords on forms setting will
automatically disable both of these features.
You can remove your existing Forms & Passwords
data by selecting the appropriate Clear button.
Finally, select the My Profile button if you wish to
select, or create a Profile for yourself which;
specifies personal information you wish to share if a
website requests information from its visitors. Enter in the
appropriate data for yourself as necessary. Of course, for
privacy reasons you may be best off just ignoring
this.
