One easy way to check is to visit a browser’s content setting page and privacy policy. The privacy webpage should outline if your data is shared and why. It’s why the <a href="{ $privacy }">{ -brand-name-firefox } privacy notice</a> is easy to read and easy to find.

We visit hundreds or even thousands of websites each day, and you can’t expect users to make security and privacy decisions for each of these sites. That is why a browser that gives you more control is so important - because it offers real, meaningful protection.

In fact, by default Chrome monitors which websites you visit and what you do so that it can identify “ad topics” to send you more-targeted ads. You can block three topics but you can’t make them stop identifying other ad topics for you.

Websites save information about you in files called <a href="{ $cookies }">cookies</a>. They are saved on your computer for the next time you visit that site. Upon your return, the website code will read that file to see that it’s you. For example, when you go to a website, the page remembers your username and password – that’s made possible by a cookie.

Get search suggestions in the search bar and quickly access the sites you visit most. Type in your search question, and get suggested and previously searched results across your favorite search engines.

Open a new tab in { -brand-name-firefox } to see the sites you visit most, your recent bookmarks and popular articles in { -brand-name-pocket }. { -brand-name-firefox } gives you quick access to your most recently used sites to help you get where you’re going faster.

And it’s not a deep setting you need to dig around to find. In the latest { -brand-name-firefox } browser, fingerprint blocking is the standard, default setting. Visit your <a { $url_protections }>privacy protections dashboard</a> to see how you’re being tracked behind the scenes and how { -brand-name-firefox } prevents it.

{ -brand-name-firefox } securely stores your usernames and passwords for accessing websites, automatically fills them in for you the next time you visit a website, and lets you manage your stored logins with its built-in password management feature.

Private browsing mode will not delete any new bookmarks you make from a private browsing window, or protect you from malware or viruses. It also doesn’t prevent the websites you visit from seeing where you are physically located or stop your internet service provider from logging what you do. You’ll need a <a href="{ $vpn }">trustworthy VPN</a> for that.

In general, the best defense against phishing is to <strong>be suspicious of what you receive</strong>, whether it shows up in email, a text message or on the phone. Instead of taking action on what someone sent you, visit the site directly. For example, if an email says you need to reset your PayPal password, don’t click the link. Type in paypal.com yourself. If the bank calls, call them back.

Your browser also helps keep you informed about how trustworthy sites are, to help keep you safe from phishing. On the one hand, when you try to visit a website that is known to be a phishing site, { -brand-name-firefox } (and any major browser) will display a full-screen warning — <strong>pay attention and think twice about using that site!</strong>
