Browser security add-ons

Our privacy and overall security are never in safe hands. Therefore, it should always be our responsibility to do something about it, even if it makes a tiny bit of difference. Some of you might have stored personal data or even financial information on the Internet. Thus protecting the information from being publicly unleashed is of utmost priority.

Besides that, by using the Internet, you’re also exposed to a lot of viruses, malware, ransomware, and so on. It’s definitely not fun to be a victim of those because you’ll lose a lot of time, data, and peace of mind.

To avoid these issues, there is a variety of antivirus software available out there, such as  Malwarebytes Browser Guard, DuckDuckGo, Adblock Plus, etc. These security tools enable you to have a smooth browsing experience and away from any sort of danger.
