Tor and the World of Chrome

As technology advances, so do the tools we use to access that technology, and so forth. You may have a choice of one to three different operating systems (Windows, Linux, ac) There is a vast world of browsers that you can use, some more customizable, and others strictly meant to keep you safe while browsing and keeping things discreet. Tor Project or the Tor Browser is one such browser that, by definition, is made to keep everything you do conceal. Tor is a volunteer/non-profit based service that allows you to browse with anonymity. It is also known for being a skeptical browser, as some use it for unscrupulous deeds or tasks due to the browser's nature. The benefit of being discreet is a feature some are looking for, especially since no fee or payment is due to access this software. The downside is that it is advised to not use any sort of customization or extensions on the browser, as it is meant to not be tracked, and some extensions can lead to small forms of tracing.

    Google Chrome allows for a safer and secure browser. All without making it entirely anonymous, it is more user friendly and allows extensions to give better protection in the browser. Most of the time, you rarely would need to seek a VPN unless you are in un-trusted waters; google chrome will remind you when it feels something is unsafe or if there is an unsafe connection.

  Fighting Malware When you browse the web, you can sometimes download harmful files, sometimes on purpose, other times it could be an accident or even a forced unseen download. So you’ll want the best protection you can get. Sometimes your Operating System or browser can come with security already built inside of it, but it doesn’t always clean up everything. You’ll need to find an antivirus tool or a malware protector/finder; some known tools are Malware Bytes and the IObit Malware Protections, but some of these costs a year or up to a packaged bundle that usually runs quite cheap for a year (30.00+ USD) But the benefits of a paid subscription usually outpace that of a non-paid subscription. ClamWin is an Antivirus open source software that can be used completely free, you’ll never have to pay, but you maybe missing out on dozens of benefits from using a trial/free version of the paid versions of known antivirus software. And open-source antivirus software are usually rarely upda
