Browser settings and extensions

Modern browsers have useful extra features, but some can be abused.

1. Extensions (add-ons) can be dangerous

Only use extensions that you really need.

Safe extensions:

• Adblockers (uBlock Origin, AdGuard)

• Password managers (Bitwarden extension)

• Microsoft Editor / Grammarly

Avoid:

• Extensions that download videos

• “Free coupons” extensions

• Unknown extensions with few reviews

2. Cookies: safe or not?

Cookies are small files that websites use to remember your preferences.

Recommended:

• Accept only necessary cookies

• Refuse marketing cookies if possible

3. Reset the browser

If the browser is acting strangely:
Go to Settings → “Reset Browser”.
This removes unwanted extensions and settings.
