Browsers

The most popular browsers are Chrome and Firefox, in crypto fields some will use Brave too. These well known browsers have a strong team and there will be timely security updates. The topic of browser security is very broad. Here are some tips for you to be aware of:

• Update as quickly as possible, don't take chances.

• Don't use an extension if not necessary. If you do, make your decisions based on user's reviews, number of users, maintaining company, etc, and pay attention to the permission it asks for. Make sure you get the extension from your browser's official app store.

• Multiple browsers can be used in parallel, and it is strongly recommended that you perform important operations in one browser, and use another browser for more routine, less important operations.

• Here are some well-known privacy focused extensions (such as uBlock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, ClearURLs, etc.), feel free to try them out.

In Firefox in particular, I will also use the legendary ancient extension NoScript, which had a proven record of fending off malicious JavaScript payloads. Nowadays browsers are becoming more and more secure as they add support for things like same-origin policy, CSP, Cookie security policy, HTTP security headers, extension security policy, etc. Thus the need of using a tool such as NoScript is becoming smaller and smaller, feel free to take a look if interested.

The best recommendation we can give is to use the Tor browser.
