With the ever-increasing number of malware attacks and other threats trying to get hold of your personal data, Protecting yourself online is vitally important. Threats such as credit card scams, phishing, and computer viruses should make Internet security a priority for everyone.
It starts with good browsing practices. Be careful when opening email attachments. Make sure your antivirus software is up to date. Developing good habits like these should be a top priority. But beyond that, it’s important to have the right tools by using a secure internet browser.
Popular does not necessarily mean safe!

Other browsers have proven less vulnerable to attacks, so the popular choice is not necessarily the best (contrary to the adage vox populi vox dei). In fact, its popularity makes it an attractive target for hackers. As a result, Chrome has been updated more frequently than any other leading browser. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as it shows that Google is committed to keeping Chrome up to date.
