INTERNET
DUCKDUCKGO
SEARCH ENGINE (NOT
AN APP - COPY URL TO YOUR BROWSER)
Sometimes better than Google
despite its strange name. According to a New Yorker article
(10/26/20, page 38), Duckduckgo
"... strips queries
of identifying data". [The entire article "PRIVACY
SETTINGS - The rise of encrypted messaging and one
cryptographer's plan to resist mass
surveillance", by Anna Weiner, runs from pages 32 -
43]. Duckduckgo can also be
incorporated into the Firefox
browser for better anonymity. It is also possible
that it can be added to other browsers as well,
although presumably not MS's Edge.
THUNDERBIRD Email client from Mozilla.
GOOGLE
EARTH On
line only (no longer a downloadable and executable file ). You
probably have to have a Google account
to run it.
PROTONMAIL
A highly secure encrypted email
provider (reecommended (by the author of Fourmilab).
WEB EXPRESS WEBSITE PUBLISHER
This is the app used to create the
present site. It does not support rollovers but does support frames
and forms (not used here).
The sites produced are not secure
but can probably be made so by using a third party uploading app
instead of the Webex
uploader (for example FileZilla
or WinSCP).
Security apps have found Webex uploaded sites to be free of
security risks, however.
It is a fabulous website
builder that can be installed on Win10. On my Lenovo laptop
with SSDs it works like a normal app (launchable
from the task bar for example).
On
my problematic desktop you have to jump through some hoops.
Look in the download directory for the Webex zip file
and double click the icon. Follow
the instructions then return to the Webex folder that you can specify
- with luck the Webex
app will appear both as Webex.exe
and as Webex.wbs. Double click on the .wbs filename to launch the
app. The .wbs version will
display both the working page and,
on the left, a site map that shows all the links - this is
extremely useful since it gives an overall
view of the site. Double clicking a
page on the site map will display the page that can then be edited.
Running the .exe file does
not show the site map.
NOTE: Several other apps also
call themselves "Webex" - for example "Cisco Webex"

WEB HOSTING
I am migrating to IONOS using
the URL imhodge.net.
This host is promising - apparently based in the UK. This site should
be secure, but is under development.
Redirections will be added to
this site once the new site is completed and posted.
