The browser is the most commonly used program, and there are many ways to increase your security while you surf the Internet. Here we have collected the most important tips for staying safe and secure. Our examples show how to do it in the main browser, Google Chrome, but it works in much the same way in its competitors.
CHECKING SECURITY
Google Chrome’s Security Check and Privacy Guide tools allow you to quickly check that the browser is secure enough.
HOW? Tap the three dots in the top right. Select Settings > Privacy and security. Select the Security control and then Privacy Guide.
CLEARING DATA
Our browsers store cookie files that are used, among other things, to personalise advertising. However, you can delete these.
HOW? Open Privacy and security (as above). Select the Clear browsing data > Basics. Choose what you want to clear, such as browsing history, cookies or files. By default, everything is deleted, but you can also press the Time interval to change it. Confirm with Clear data. To get more options, you can select Advanced. Here you can delete saved passwords and website settings, for example.
BLOCK FUTURE COOKIES…
You can choose to block cookies in the future.
