Tip: Ways to enhance Google Chrome security

Millions use the Google Chrome browser on their computers every day, but few know all the built-in browser settings and extensions that enhance the security of use, which we intend to mention here.

Protection against dangerous websites

There are sites classified by Google as dangerous for malicious software and makes it easy for a little to become a victim of these sites, unless the "Safe Browsing" option in Settings> Synchronization and Google Services.

Data encryption

Many of us use the built-in password saving tool in the Google Chrome browser. To avoid reading the websites for this data, you must activate the option to encrypt your user name and passwords with your Google Account and it is located in Settings> Synchronization and Google Services.

Block tracking sites

Website tracking is a Google Chrome user for advertising targeting, which you will not be able to block with Chrome. However, in some cases websites create a user profile to target in many cases, which can be prevented by activating the "Send a non-trace request" setting from your privacy and security settings.

Activate the binary authentication

Binary authentication means that if someone signs up with a Google Account on a new device, you must agree to the registration process with a code sent on the phone, email or a binary authentication application.

Add an HTTPS protocol


URLs start with: HTTP or HTTPS, which indicates the security of personal data exchange with the site. HTTPS encrypts any data exchange with the site, so a third party can only penetrate the connection between the user and the site and know the data except for complex, HTTP that does not encrypt the connection with the site, here comes the role of adding HTTPS Everywhere that adds the encryption layer to all sites.
