Safe Browsing Tips:

1. Avoid suspicious links: Don't click on pop-ups or links from unknown sources. Even if a link looks legitimate, hover over it to see the actual web address before clicking.
   
   

2. Look for "https" in the URL: Secure websites start with https, indicating that the connection is encrypted and safer for sensitive data like passwords or payment information.
   
   

3. Don't share personal information: Be cautious when asked for personal details unless it's a trusted website. Legitimate companies will never ask for your password via email.

Why It's Important:

Safe browsing practices help you avoid malware, phishing scams, and identity theft. By staying alert and following these tips, you can enjoy the internet without falling victim to online threats.

Try It Out:

Next time you browse the internet, pay attention to the websites you visit. Check for https in the URL and avoid downloading files or clicking on links from unknown sources.

Pro Tip:

Consider using a browser extension like AdBlock or uBlock Origin to block pop-up ads and malicious content, making your browsing experience safer and more enjoyable.
