10 tips to keep Google's Chrome browser secure

10 tips to keep Google's Chrome browser secure

Google Chrome is the most popular browser out there. With billions of users, it's also a prime target for cybercriminals. Chrome has many security features built-in, but sometimes you'll have to turn to third parties. We put together 10 tips to help make your Chrome browsing experience better and safer.

Quick tip of the day

It’s almost impossible not to run into cybersecurity issues like malware, viruses or phishing sites at some point online. Instead of using one computer for all your web activities, setting up a separate device for online banking will help keep your most sensitive data secure.

Use this machine for one thing and one thing only: Accessing your financial accounts. No email, no downloads, no browsing.

We recommend picking up a Chromebook. These inexpensive laptops use Google’s Chrome OS, which is essentially a glorified web browser. You won’t be able to download games or run Photoshop on a Chromebook, but you can easily do all your online banking on one without running into trouble. In fact, it’s good that Chromebooks are relatively limited for this purpose.

Upgrade to the printer that saves you a ton on ink costs
