đź’ˇ Tip #2: Check Permissions Before You Install

Browser extensions are super handy—but some can also snoop on everything you do.

Before you hit “Add to Chrome,” ask yourself:

  • Does it really need access to all websites?

  • Can you limit its access manually?

  • Is it open-source or widely trusted?

🔒 Stick with extensions that have thousands of reviews and clear permission requests. And disable any you’re not actively using.
