Clear Out Your Browser!

Make sure your browser isn’t full of unwanted guests! Audit and remove unused extensions regularly — outdated add‑ons can slow you down and even put your data at risk.

We all love customizing our web browsers with extensions, from password managers to productivity tools. But here’s a secret your IT pup wants you to know: every extension you install becomes part of your security footprint. Unused or outdated add‑ons can slow down performance, collect more data than you expect, or even provide a backdoor for bad actors.


Henry’s Tip

Once a quarter, take five minutes to open your browser’s extensions list (Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox). Remove anything you don’t recognize or haven’t used in months. Stick with well‑known, trusted extensions — especially for sensitive functions like password management — and keep them up to date.

A cleaner browser runs faster and keeps your data safer. Think of it like decluttering your pup’s toy basket: only keep the favorites and toss the rest. 🐾
