💻 TECH TIP TUESDAY
🧹 Your browser extensions deserve a spring clean!
Browser extensions add useful features, but when last did you check yours? Some can request permission to read or change information on websites you visit.
🔎 Review what’s installed
Open your browser’s menu and look for Extensions or Manage Extensions.
🗑️ Clear out the clutter
Remove extensions you no longer use or recognise. If it’s a work computer, check with your IT team first.
🔐 Check permissions
Review which websites each extension can access. Only allow the access it needs.
⚠️ Watch for unwanted changes
Unexpected pop-ups, redirects or a different search engine could be signs of an unwanted extension.
Browser behaving strangely? Computer World can help remove unwanted extensions, pop-ups and other browser issues.
