If you did click on that link, you might find yourself on a site that looks legit enough to persuade you to enter sensitive information (such as logins, credit card numbers, and more). If you fall for the trick, you could wind up dealing with a nightmare of epic proportions.<\/p>\n<p>One way to avoid this problem is to enable anti-phishing features in your browser.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/5-browser-extension-rules-to-live-by-to-keep-your-system-safe-in-2025\/\">5 browser extension rules to live by to keep your system safe in 2025<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You might be thinking, &#8220;Why not use an anti-phishing extension?&#8221; That&#8217;s a good question. The answer is simple.<\/p>\n<p>Not every extension can be trusted. More malicious browser extensions are discovered regularly, so don&#8217;t install extensions without vetting them. But even if you&#8217;ve spent the time vetting an extension, there&#8217;s no telling if it could be later compromised or if it will wind up blocking legitimate sites and not blocking malicious ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-found-a-malicious-chrome-extension-on-my-system-heres-how-and-what-i-did-next\/\">I found a malicious Chrome extension on my system &#8211; here&#8217;s how and what I did next<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, your best bet is to use your browser&#8217;s built-in anti-phishing features so you won&#8217;t be caught unaware.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now that you&#8217;ve been reminded of the possible danger of installing third-party software, let&#8217;s focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/why-you-should-update-chrome-and-firefox-right-now\/\">Chrome<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/home-and-office\/work-life\/5-firefox-based-privacy-first-web-browsers-that-improve-on-the-original\/\">Firefox<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<h2>How to enable anti-phishing in Chrome<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What you&#8217;ll need:&nbsp;<\/strong>The only thing you&#8217;ll need for this is an updated Chrome browser.
