Additional Tips to Stay Safe Online
- Know your browser: Some browsers are more secure than others.
- Use a safe device: Whenever possible, use a computer or device that hasn’t been accessed by anyone who may put you at risk. Public devices, a friend’s device, or one at a library or social service agency can be safer options.
- Review your activity: You can check your browsing history (usually Ctrl+H) and downloads (Ctrl+J) to delete/manage what’s stored on your device.
- Be mindful of patterns: Sudden changes in your browsing behavior—like erasing all history at once—might alert someone monitoring your activity. Consider whether these actions could increase risk before taking them.
