Safe Surfing Tips:
Here are a few tips to get the safest and smoothest autosurfing experience. I have been using autosurf sites for five years, and have found many tricks that improve the way autosurf sites behave.
By stopping most of the things that can slow down or completely stop the surfbar timer, you will be able to get the maximum number of surf credits during each surf session. And your surf session will be much more enjoyable if you are able to block most of the sounds that some websites embedd into them, like YouTube videos and other embedded sales pitches and other background sounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The first step is to choose the right Browser:
There are three major browsers out there. Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Internet Explorer - by Microsoft:
IE has to be the worst browser ever for using on an autosurf site! So I won't even mention anymore about it here. Bottom line, forget about a safe or smooth surfing experience using this browser. The two best browsers for autosurfing are Firefox and Chrome, and they are described in detail below.
----------------------------------
Once you pick your browser, there are a number of things you need to to ensure that you have the safest and smoothest autosurfing experience.
You must activate the Pop-Up Blocker. As hard as we try to reject sites that have pop-ups any other annoying things out of the surf rotation, they do slip by us once in a while. And they can be very disruptive to the surf timer, so that's why we offer a bounty on sites that disrupt the surf rotation. For each site that you report to us by clicking on the Report Abuse link inside the surfbar, we will reward you with 5000 surf credits if we determine that site must be removed from rotation.
For the Firefox browser, click on Tools, then Options, then Content, and make sure the Block pop-up windows box is checked.
For the Chrome Browser, click on the black wrench in the upper right hand corner of the browser window, then click Options, then the Under the Hood tab, then the Content Setting button, then select Pop-Ups, and make sure that the Do not allow any site to show pop-up box is checked.
----------------------------------
Then you must have Anti-Virus and Sypware installed and active during each surfing session! If you don't have these running while autosurfing, you are taking a huge chance that your computer will become infected with something really nasty and hard to get rid of! Our screening process does not have the capability to eliminate all forms of viruses and spyware, but if one of our alarms goes off while checking a site, it is immediately rejected.
Here are the tools we use, that are very effective at blocking most things that can harm your computer:
Avira Free Antivirus
www.avira.com/free
Microsoft Security Essentials (Free):
http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/
Avast Anti-Virus (Free Version):
http://www.avast.com/index
SpywareBlaster (Free Version):
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
WinPatrol (Free Version):
http://www.winpatrol.com/
I use all four of these programs on my computers 24/7/365 without encountering any conflicts. While Microsoft Security Essential and Avast Anti-Virus are both anti-virus programs, and they say you aren't supposed to use two different anti-virus programs at the same time, I have never encountered any conflicts. You may, so choose the one that's right for you.
Microsoft Security Essential includes a very good Firewall, so if you chose not to use this program, I highly recommend that you have a good Firewall program installed on your computer, but you can not have two Firewalls running at the same time because that will cause major conflicts..
The free version of Zone Alarm is the best Firewall I know of:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Firefox - by Mozilla:
Here is a link to the download page for every language available, and the newest version:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
----------------------------------
Firefox is a very popular browser to use with autosurfing sites, and is my favorite browser to use for them. It uses less of your computer's memory (RAM) than Chrome, and there are some excellent Ad Ons you can install on this browser to block most of the things that can show up and interrupt the surf timer.
One of the great things about Mozilla’s Firefox Web browser is the ability to customize it any way you want. With the growth of Web-related security issues, the need for protection and privacy is strong. After conversing with users and experts, below is a list of some handy security-related Firefox add-ons.
The add-ons listed are continuously updated and maintained. Each focuses on security and privacy and takes up little resource usage on Firefox. Users of Firefox 3 will notice no performance drain when using some or all of the scripts.
----------------------------------
The first script, one that almost all Firefox users know, is NoScript. NoScript is an add-on that allows only trusted sites to execute JavaScript and Java, as well as other executable content such as Flash and Silverlight. Its goal is to protect the browser from Cross-Site Scripting attacks as well as embedded attacks from sites that have suffered from SQL Injection. The script is easy to navigate and intuitive to control, there is no real learning curve when using it.
NoScript can be downloaded directly from Mozilla by clicking here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/noscript/
----------------------------------
Next we have Adblock Plus, which is something recommended by all Firefox users. The premise of this add-on is simple: some types of ads will track you, while other types will simply annoy you or slow the load times for various Web sites.
Adblock Plus will remove those ads, and allow you to introduce more ads to the list simply by right-clicking and selecting the 'block' option. By default, Adblock comes with a great set of rules that will block almost 80 percent of the intrusive ads found online. There are also additions to Adblock, such as the Element Hiding Helper, that offer more blocking power by removing text-based ads.
Adblock Plus can be downloaded directly from Mozilla by clicking here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
----------------------------------
The next Ad On I recommend to use when using autosurf sites is called TubeStop, and it stops the auto-play function of YouTube videos. Quite often, people submit websites to autosurfing sites that contain one or more YouTube videos that start to auto-play as soon as the site opens in the surfbar. This can stall the surfbar timer, and make your experience not very pleasant. So I recommend that you get the TubeStop Ad On and install it. It really helps!
TubeStop can be downloaded directly from Mozilla by clicking here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tubestop/
----------------------------------
IN CONCLUSION: In my opinion, Firefox is the best browser to use while autosurfing. It uses a lot less memory than Chrome because of the way each tab handles memory. With Chrome, each tab acts seperately, and that makes your memory guage start climbing quickly, and it never stops until your memory is maxed out. At that point, the only thing to do is to shut down all of your tabs and windows and restart your computer to wipe all stored memory out and start all over again. Also, Firefox has better and more effective Ad Ons than Google's Chrome browser. I have extensively tested both ever since Chrome was released, and Firefox is much more stable and much less of a memory hog than Chrome is.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chrome - by Google:
You can download the latest version of Chrome here:
http://www.google.com/chrome?hl=en-GB
----------------------------------
Chrome has two good Ad Ons that can make your autosurfing session go smoother. The first one is Adblock Plus for Google Chrome™ (Beta). By preventing the display of ads, Adblock Plus makes browsing the web less taxing on both your computer and your sanity.
You can download the latest version of this Ad On here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/adblockplus/
----------------------------------
The only other Ad On that is helpful when autosurfing is Stop Autoplay for YouTube. Not only does it cut off any sounds from playing, but it also keeps the surf timer from freezing up while the video tries to load.
You can download the latest version of the Ad On here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/stopyoutubeautoplay/
----------------------------------
Don't get me wrong here. I do like the Chrome browser very much, but to only do certain tasks. And using Chrome for autosurfing is not a real good idea, because it uses much more memory per window/tab than Firefox does. I have done comparison tests between Firefox and Chrome to see how long it takes before each one maxes out the guage I have on my comuter that shows how much memory is being used.
I can run Firefox for at least eight hours with six windows open that have five or six tabs on each one that are running a different autosurf site I belong to. When my memory gauge gets above 60%, I know it's time to shut everything down and restart my computer. What this does is clear out your cache and you memory so you get a fresh start again.
I also run Glary Utilities and CCleaner as soon as the computer restarts each time, and that guarantess that virtually everything in the cache and memory is cleaned out and I have a clean, fresh slate again.
Another good idea is to disable Chrome's translator tool when surfing a site like this one, because websites of many different languages are allowed here. When a website is shown that's in a language other than English, if you have the translator enabled it will slow down the load time for that site and slow down the surf timer too. To disable Chrome's translator tool, click on the wrench in the upper right corner of the browser window, then click on Options, then click on the Under The Hood tab. Make sure that the box is not checked under Translate - Offer to translate pages that aren't in a language I read.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
IN CONCLUSION: The Chrome browser is not the best one to use on autosurf sites, but it can be used effectively on them if you don't mind closing everything down and restarting your computer every few hours to clear your cache and browsing history. Chrome has a nasty habit of making your memory meter start to climb the minute it's loaded up. And it keeps on making that meter go up a little bit every minute, until all of your available memory is gone. Then, things start to freeze up and move at a snail's pace.
So this is what I do these days. For the sites I want to push through and make sure that the the surfbar forces a new page to load every time the surf timer finishes counting down, I use Chrome for those sites. Most of these types of sites are mine. For the rest of the autosurf sites I use that I don't own, I use Firefox for all of them. So, I may have two Chrome windows open, with no more than five tabs open on each window. And then I have five Firefox windows open that have five tabs open on each of these windows. That gives me 25 autosurf sites using Firefox, and ten of my favorite sites running on Chrome. And NONE running on IE at all!...lol
I hope you learned something interesting in this article, and that it helps you to have a more enjoyable autosurfing session, with less hassles...
HAPPY AUTOSURFING EVERYONE!...
