And you can&#8217;t rely on your operating system to keep you safe. For example, Windows 10 security tools don&#8217;t shield Google Chrome by default. This oversight is alarming because Google Chrome is easily the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.laptopmag.com\/news\/google-chrome-is-the-most-popular-browser-with-3-billion-users-microsoft-edge-drastically-falls-behind\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">world\u2019s most popular browser<\/a> with over 3 billion users. So, try some of the following web browser safety tips to stay more secure on the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Use Top Security Extensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinigeek.com\/vpns-anatomy-what-should-a-good-vpn-have\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42975 lazyload\" width=\"840\" height=\"472\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-3.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-3-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 840px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 840\/472;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>VPNs Anatomy: What Should a Good VPN Have?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The six <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.malwarebytes.com\/101\/2021\/06\/the-6-best-chrome-extensions-for-privacy-and-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best security extensions for Chrome<\/a>, Firefox, Edge, or Safari can enhance your online security in multiple ways. For example, Browser Guard blocks browser lockers, browser hijackers, social engineering attacks, third-party ad trackers, and even malicious web pages that may carry cryptojackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you should use top security extensions to protect your browser, you must avoid malicious plug-ins. Examine your list of extensions and remove any you don\u2019t recognize or ones that ask for unnecessary permissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Use Cybersecurity Software<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/2021\/6-benefits-of-custom-made-software-for-businesses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-9.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42979 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-9.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-9-768x512.jpeg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>6 Benefits of Custom Made Software for Businesses<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, don\u2019t rely on your operating system\u2019s baked-in security tools to defend your browser. Not only do you need security extensions, but you should also use anti-malware software that stops viruses, spyware, toolbars, adware, and brute force attacks, and more from ruining your day. Good anti-malware technology will also stop the following emerging threats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Malvertising<\/strong>: Malvertising is when cybercriminals inject malicious codes into ads to attack people browsing the Internet.<\/li><li><strong>Drive-by downloads<\/strong>: A computer can be hit by malware by visiting a website without clicking anything in a drive-by download attack.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Look for HTTPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/2019\/important-https-migration-facts-wordpress-users-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"539\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42973 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-6.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-6-768x404.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/539;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Important HTTPS Migration Facts That All WordPress Users Should Know<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A general rule of thumb is to avoid websites with URLs that don&#8217;t start with &#8220;HTTPS.&#8221; Short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, HTTPS ensures that the connection between your browser and the website is secure. Websites that don\u2019t have the padlock sign are usually not trustworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssl.com\/faqs\/what-is-https\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HTTPS is essential<\/a>, it\u2019s not a safety guarantee. While the protocol encrypts the data transferred between your browser and the website, it doesn\u2019t ensure that the website itself is legitimate. A fraudulent website or a phishing page can just as quickly secure the certificate required for the padlock sign. In fact, some researchers say that a quarter of phishing attacks occur through HTTPS domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Keep Your Guard Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/infinigeek.com\/safe-surfing-what-is-the-dark-web\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42976 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-4.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-4-768x512.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Safe Surfing: What is The Dark Web?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if the website has the padlock sign, keep an eye out for suspicious signs like pop-up windows, spelling, grammatical or design errors, or alarmist language. Be particularly wary of websites you opened through a link on email, text, or social media message, as they may be fraudulent. Cybercriminals are adept at convincing their targets to open malicious websites through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk-news\/2021\/may\/10\/train-firms-worker-bonus-email-is-actually-cyber-security-test\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">phishing or smishing tactics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Avoid Public WiFi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/2021\/portable-office-how-to-run-your-business-from-anywhere\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42974 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 740px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 740\/416;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Portable Office: How To Run Your Business From Anywhere<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t use unsecured public WiFi or any potentially unsafe network to browse the Internet. Unsecured public WiFi connections are vulnerable to network attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, WiFi spoofing, and more. The best way to safely use WiFi at cafes, airports, malls, and the park is to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN). A VPN encrypts your data and can even spoof your location with a virtual IP address. Just avoid free VPNs because they may engage in malicious activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/2020\/the-ultimate-guide-for-the-website-journey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.andysowards.com\/blog\/assets\/5-Critical-Web-Browser-Safety-Tips-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42971 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 680px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 680\/281;\" \/><\/a><figcaption>The Ultimate Guide for The Website Journey<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Browsing the Internet doesn\u2019t have to be unsafe.
