Your browser is the session layer for everything. Move passwords out of it, update it, and remove extensions you cannot justify.

The procedure

  1. Step 01 · 8 min

    Export and delete saved passwords

    Import them into a manager with a master password, then remove the browser copies.

  2. Step 02 · 4 min

    Audit extensions

    Every extension can read every page. Remove anything you have not used in a month.

  3. Step 03 · 2 min

    Force an update

    Chromium browsers update on restart, but only if you actually restart them.

  4. Step 04 · 3 min

    Turn on safe browsing and HTTPS-only mode

    Both are one toggle and both block real attacks.
