Chrome is the most popular web browser.

It’s not always safe to use.

Here are 7 Chrome settings you need to change immediately:

1) Site Permissions

Some websites can access your location, camera, or microphone.

Control that:

• Settings>Privacy and security>Site settings
• Disable access for Location, Camera, and Microphone.

2) Secure DNS and Connections

There are some websites that don’t have secure connections.

Safely visit any:

• Settings>Privacy and security>Security
• Turn on ‘Always use secure connections’
• Turn on ‘Use secure DNS’

3) Pop-ups and Redirects

Many websites have annoying pop-ups and redirect you to other pages.

Block that:

• Settings>Privacy and security>Site settings>Pop-ups and redirects
• Disable ‘Pop-ups and redirects’

4) Third-party Cookies

Chrome enables third-party cookies when it’s installed.

Disable it:

• Settings>Privacy and security>Cookies and other site data
• Select ‘Block third-party cookies’
