Episode summary
Browsing the web today is safer than it's ever been, as long as you're not doing anything shady.
To stay as safe as possible, there's 4 rules I recommend you follow:
1 - Only use a modern browser, and always keep it updated.
2 - Do not give a website any permissions it doesn't need, including the ability to send you notifications.
3 - Do not download or install anything, especially browser extensions.
4 - Do not enter any personal information.
Rules 2-4 can be broken the more you get to know and trust a website, but start with following them strictly until you are confident they are worthy of your trust.
Call to action
Make sure that you are using a modern, updated browser.
