Developer's Description

Prevent attackers from determining your browser history at other Web sites.

SafeCache segments the cache on the basis of the originating document, defending against Web privacy attacks that remote sites can use to determine your browser history at other sites. For example, a b.com image appearing on an a.com page would have a separate cache entry from the same image appearing on a b.com page, so a.com cannot use timing techniques to determine if you have visited b.com before.

Checks cookie settings (allow, originating site only, deny) to determine your desired privacy level (segmented cache, cache originating site only, or never cache). This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.
