How Can I Browse the Internet Safely?

Before you click ‘Yes’ or ‘OK’ on any pop-up, take a moment to read it! Think about what it’s asking and whether it makes sense. A lot of people end up freaking out after accidentally agreeing to things they don’t understand, especially those desktop notifications!

Also, if you're using Chrome or Firefox, definitely grab an ad blocker like uBlock. It helps block annoying ads and pop-ups that could potentially lead you to phishing sites.

A lot of so-called hacks happen because people fall for phishing. Always type the website directly into your browser rather than clicking links in emails. If they say you’ve been hacked, don’t panic and check directly on the website instead of trusting any emails. And please, use different passwords for different sites—set up multi-factor authentication wherever you can!

Here are some essential tips for browsing safely:
1. Only download files from trusted sources. If you’re unsure about something, don’t download it!
2. Keep your devices updated with the latest software.
3. Use a password manager like Bitwarden to create strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication for important accounts like email or banking.

If you stick to these three steps, you’ll be way safer! Also, don’t worry too much about just clicking links or visiting websites. Those things are usually fine, and you probably don’t need a VPN or have to stress about public Wi-Fi networks. Just be cautious!

It's super important not to install random stuff. If you see a pop-up saying something urgent about your bank or your computer, don't click on it! Stick with reliable browsers like Firefox with an ad blocker and maybe run malware protection. Pretty soon, you’ll feel a lot safer browsing!

Watch out for any strange pop-ups! Read everything before clicking. If it looks off, just close the window. And yeah, just because a link says 'naughty schoolgirl' doesn’t mean it’s legit—always question what sounds too good to be true!
