What are 4 rules to stay safe while browsing the web?
Episode summaryBrowsing the web today is safer than it's ever been, as long as you're not doing anything shady.
To stay as safe as possible, there's 4 rules I recommend you follow:
1 - Only use a modern browser, and always keep it updated.
2 - Do not give a website any permissions it doesn't need, including the ability to send you notifications.
3 - Do not download or install anything, especially browser extensions.
4 - Do not enter any personal information.
Rules 2-4 can be broken the more you get to know and trust a website, but start with following them strictly until you are confident they are worthy of your trust.
Call to actionMake sure that you are using a modern, updated browser.
