CNET<\/a>.<\/p>\nYou can however make a few small tweaks to increase your privacy. <\/p>\n
There are many extensions that can help you protect yourself against hackers.<\/p>\n
If you click on “Extensions” in the Chrome Webstore you will be able to search for some extensions you can add to your browser.<\/p>\n
The extensions that offer a better level of security include Cookie Autodelete,\u00a0uBlock Origin,\u00a0Privacy Badger,\u00a0and\u00a0HTTPS Everywhere.<\/p>\n
It is also important to make sure you have blocked third party cookies. <\/p>\n
Click “Settings” and scroll down to the “privacy and security”\u00a0section and click\u00a0“cookies and other site data.”<\/p>\n
From here, select\u00a0“block third-party cookies.”<\/p>\n
The extensions are not available to Android users, however, there are alternatives such as switching browsers altogether. <\/p>\n
DuckDuckGo is a popular choice for those concerned about security because it doesn’t track user searches.<\/p>\n
Other changes that you can make to protect your privacy include disabling your browser’s location- and search engine-autocomplete features, turning off password autofills, and regularly deleting your browser’s history. <\/p>\n

Google stated that links and bug details may be restricted until the majority of users have updated with a fix.<\/p>\n
“We will also retain restrictions if the bug exists in a third-party library that other projects similarly depend on, but haven\u2019t yet fixed.\u201d<\/p>\n
