I personally like its phishing attack protection feature that automatically scans key elements of a web page to <strong>detect whether a page is official or fake one and warns you immediately<\/strong>. It also auto-corrects mistakes in a URL to ensure you don\u2019t end up on a fake website.<\/p>\n<p>Avast Online Security uses <strong>community rating system to rate websites<\/strong> and helps you in detecting the dangerous ones. On top of that, it also blocks tracking cookies that <strong>track your activity for analysis purposes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/01-avast-online-security.jpg\" width=\"1288\" height=\"688\" alt=\"avast online security\"><\/figure>\n<h2>2. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/https-everywhere\/gcbommkclmclpchllfjekcdonpmejbdp?hl=en\">HTTPS<strong> Everywhere<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>An encrypted connection (HTTPS) ensures <strong>no one could monitor your activity<\/strong> or steal data. Unfortunately, not all websites support HTTPS connection, and this is where HTTPS Everywhere comes in. It is a Chrome extension that will try to <strong>connect to an HTTPS version of websites if possible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This allows you to get HTTPS connection on thousands of websites that by default <strong>connect you to an insecure HTTP connection<\/strong>. Just install the extension, and it will start doing its job.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/02-https-everywhere.jpg\" width=\"1288\" height=\"642\" alt=\"https everywhere\"><\/figure>\n<h2>3. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/ghostery-%E2%80%93-privacy-ad-blo\/mlomiejdfkolichcflejclcbmpeaniij?hl=en\">Ghostery<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>If you are <strong>concerned about your online privacy<\/strong> or simply want to get rid of trackers that may be slowing down your browsing, then Ghostery is the best extension for this purpose. It basically gives you <strong>full control over trackers and let you decide which to block or unblock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It <strong>lists all types of trackers in its settings<\/strong> from where you can individually block\/unblock them. However, you can also click on the Ghostery extension button while browsing a website to <strong>see its trackers and disable them if needed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I also really like their <strong>tracker categories<\/strong> such as advertisements, analytics, and social media, etc. that will let you <strong>block tracking of a specific type<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/03-ghostery.jpg\" width=\"1286\" height=\"622\" alt=\"ghostery\"><\/figure>\n<h2>4. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/ironvest\/epanfjkfahimkgomnigadpkobaefekcd?hl=en\">Blur<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>A password manager is a must to <strong>ensure all your login credentials stay safe<\/strong>. Although there are many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/password-tools\/\">password managing tools<\/a> available online, but I find Blur to be the most secure one, thanks to its added security features. It does a perfect job of <strong>saving and managing your online passwords in an encrypted<\/strong> <strong>environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>It also <strong>masks your credit card and billing information from shopping sites<\/strong> and lets you shop online without even giving up your actual credit card or information. Blur\u2019s <strong>tracking protection feature blocks all types of trackers<\/strong>. Interestingly, it also blocks trackers that don\u2019t depend on cookies, making it a <strong>better option than insecure browsing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/04-blur.jpg\" width=\"1268\" height=\"626\" alt=\"blur\"><\/figure>\n<h2>5. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/wot-website-security-priv\/bhmmomiinigofkjcapegjjndpbikblnp?hl=en\">WOT: Web of Trust<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Similar to Avast Online Security, <strong>Web of Trust also uses community rating system<\/strong>. The users can add comments and rate websites to help other users stay safe online. It will automatically <strong>warn you if a site is scammy or contains malware of some kind<\/strong>. The websites are rated for both security and child safety standards.<\/p>\n<p>Best of all, <strong>if there is no rating for a specific website<\/strong>, you can also ask for a review. Once requested, community members will give you insight on the website <strong>if they have any experience with it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/05-wot-web-of-trust.jpg\" width=\"1272\" height=\"634\" alt=\"web of trust\"><\/figure>\n<h2>6. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/clickclean\/ghgabhipcejejjmhhchfonmamedcbeod?hl=en\">Click&Clean<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Click&Clean is actually a cleaning tool that does a great job of <strong>clearing all the traces of your online activity with a single click<\/strong>. If you need to immediately delete all the stored data about your online activity, simply click on the extension button and it will <strong>clear all the internet history, cookies, cache, saved URLs, temporary files, web SQL databases<\/strong>, flash cookies and more.<\/p>\n<p>It also has a <strong>built-in anti-malware<\/strong> (powered by BitDefender) that will check your PC for any malware. Adding cherry to the cake, the extension is highly customizable and you can <strong>configure it to delete only specific type of data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/06-Click-Clean.jpg\" width=\"1288\" height=\"768\" alt=\"click and clean\"><\/figure>\n<h2>7. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/surveillance-cam-professi\/cpcnbefekficgbfoibedacpkahdfijoe?hl=en\">Surveillance Cam Professional<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Surveillance Cam Professional is an amazing security asset that will protect your PC and its surroundings. It basically <strong>turns your PC\u2019s webcam into a surveillance camera that will take picture of any movement detected by the camera<\/strong>. The picture is then sent to you via email so you could quickly take action.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunities are endless with this extension, but a common use would be to <strong>ensure no one messes with your PC and the data inside it<\/strong>. The cam works in stealth mode, and if required, it can also raise an alarm to scare off the intruder.<\/p>\n<p>Although the <strong>extension developers confirm that they never save your pictures<\/strong>, I will still not recommend you to monitor any sensitive activity with this tool.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/07-surveillance-cam-professional.jpg\" width=\"1290\" height=\"810\" alt=\"surveillance cam professional\"><\/figure>\n<h2>8. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/secure-mail-for-gmail-by\/jngdnjdobadbdemillgljnnbpomnfokn?hl=en\">Secure Mail for Gmail<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>A really handy Chrome extension for Gmail users, Secure Mail for Gmail <strong>lets you send encrypted emails to other users that cannot be read by anyone other than you and the intended sender<\/strong> (not even Google). You just need to compose an email and encrypt it with a password.<\/p>\n<p>The recipient will have to use the <strong>same password to decrypt the email<\/strong> that you use to encrypt it. The encryption also happens on the client side, so even the <strong>developers of this extension can\u2019t access this information<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you have very <strong>sensitive information to share with someone<\/strong>, then Secure Mail for Gmail would be your best choice. Although, do keep in mind that the <strong>recipient must also install the extension to decrypt the email<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/08-secure-mail-for-gmail.jpg\" width=\"1294\" height=\"812\" alt=\"secure mail for gmail\"><\/figure>\n<h2>9. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/panicbutton\/faminaibgiklngmfpfbhmokfmnglamcm\/reviews?hl=en\">Panic Button<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>As it\u2019s named suggests, Panic Button helps you <strong>close everything you are doing with a press of a button when a panic situation occurs<\/strong>. If you are working on something sensitive and suddenly need to wind up everything, <strong>simply click on the Panic Button extension button or press the assigned key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>All the tabs will close and will be stored in the bookmarks folder. And when the coast is clear, <strong>click on the Panic Button extension again to restore all the tabs<\/strong>. It\u2019s the perfect tool to protect your activity from uninvited guests.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/google-chrome-security-extensions\/09-panic-button.jpg\" width=\"1288\" height=\"806\" alt=\"panic button\"><\/figure>\n<h2>10. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/dotvpn---a-better-way-to\/kpiecbcckbofpmkkkdibbllpinceiihk\">DotVPN<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>A VPN is a must to <strong>anonymize your online activity<\/strong> and save your data from being intercepted. For Chrome users, DotVPN is probably the best VPN that is <strong>fast, reliable and can be easily used for free<\/strong>.
