Review permissions, extensions and saved credentials without making browsing harder.
Audit extensions
Remove extensions you do not recognize or no longer use. Install add-ons only from the browser’s official store and review the permissions they request.
Review site permissions
Check which sites can access your location, camera, microphone and notifications. Remove permissions that are no longer needed.
Keep the browser current
Enable automatic updates when available. Updates can fix security problems and improve compatibility with modern websites.
Use unique passwords
Use a password manager or another trusted method to avoid reusing passwords. Enable multifactor authentication for email, financial accounts and other important services.
Back up important files before making significant changes. Never share passwords, payment details or one-time security codes with unexpected callers or pop-ups.
