Protect web browsing depends on a well-configured browser. UCSC’s IT Reliability Team suggests using a modern day browser (Chrome, Edge, Chrome or Safari) with a suitable configuration that helps protect the privacy and data. You have to consider the use of add-ons or extensions that may provide diverse degrees of extra functionality to a browser. Recharging options a good idea to keep browser and everything add-ons/extensions up to date. A 64-bit version of your browser may be more robust against malware attacks as it provides even more inherent proper protection via a thing called resolve space structure randomization (ASLR).

It is recommended that a end user only runs on the single web browser, and never “reserve” a internet browser for any particular online services such as Gmail or Facebook. The use of a single browser provides for better security by only allowing some credentials to be used on this, and reduces the potential for a malevolent website to exploit a vulnerability in an obsolete program. It is also a good idea designed for users to enable password-protection features on almost all programs, and use good passwords that comply with UCSC’s Password Benchmarks when needed. Users also needs to make sure they are not really storing any kind of sensitive details in their internet browser, like visa or mastercard numbers, or perhaps using auto-complete to log into sites that need a username and password.
