Begin with permissions
Open your browser settings and review which websites can use your camera, microphone, notifications, and location. Remove access you no longer need. A permission that was useful once may not need to stay on forever.
Understand private windows
A private browsing window can limit what is saved in that browser session. It does not hide all activity from networks, websites you sign in to, or other services. Use it with a clear understanding of that limited purpose.
Pause on unfamiliar Wi-Fi
Confirm a public network’s name with its operator. Avoid installing a certificate or application just because a page asks you to. If something feels unfamiliar, disconnect and use a connection you trust.
Read before choosing a VPN
A VPN provider becomes part of the path your data takes. Review its data practices, ownership disclosures, platform support, and full renewal price. A VPN does not replace strong passwords or careful decisions about links.
