While Chrome extensions are powerful, it’s important to use them wisely. Always download extensions from the official Chrome Web Store. Check the developer name, ratings, and reviews before installing anything.
Avoid giving unnecessary permissions — some malicious extensions may ask for access to your data. Only allow what’s needed. Keep your extensions updated and remove the ones you no longer use.
Regularly review your extension list using chrome://extensions/ and look out for anything unfamiliar. A good rule is: if you don’t trust it, don’t install it. Staying aware and cautious helps keep your browser fast, clean, and secure.
