Browser Tips for Safe Browsing

Your browser is your window to the internet. Lock it down.

Use Google Chrome

Old but sage advice: don’t use IE or Edge.

• Chrome x64 - install Chrome machine wide so changes to internal files require privilege elevation.
• Chrome Reset Tool - use this tool to remove crapware.

Essential Extensions

• uBlock Origin - and excellent and efficient add blocker
• HTTPS Everywhere - forces SSL encryption everywhere
• Privacy Badger - blocks tracking cookies and scripts
• Netcraft Toolbar - warns about & blocks scam sites

Paranoia Mode

If you’re traveling a lot, or using public internet get yourself a VPN account.

• Private Internet Access VPN ($3.33/mo)
