This episode focuses on advanced browser management tasks, all of which are tested in the CompTIA IT Fundamentals (ITF+) certification exam. We’ll start with how to install, enable, disable, and remove browser extensions, discussing both the productivity enhancements they can provide and the security risks they may introduce. You’ll learn how to assess whether an extension is from a trusted source and how to limit permissions to reduce exposure to malicious activity.
We’ll also explore managing saved passwords within a browser, including enabling password managers, setting master passwords, and understanding encryption. Additionally, you’ll discover how to adjust default search engines and homepage settings for better security and workflow efficiency. These management skills give you hands-on knowledge that not only supports exam success but also improves your day-to-day browsing experience. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
