Browser extensions are small software programs that improve and personalize your online experience. With so many extensions (or add-ons) out there, it is difficult to make the right choice. Some of them address your need for privacy, others your need for protection and security while browsing on various websites, from sites where you pay taxes to sites where you simply access your online banking account.
Since there is a long list we can organize, we will try to present you only some of the best extensions that block sites from tracking you, block ads and scripts and keep you safe on unknown web locations.
Using a browser extension you have a greater control over your browser behavior. You can block ads from some websites and pop-ups that may act like carriers for financial and data stealing malware.
At the same time, you have the possibility to block others from breaching your privacy settings. But, you should also be aware that you need to test these extensions and know what they are capable of doing.
