Today we are upgrading your browser with some killer privacy and security extensions. If your browser feels like a window into your life, think of these tools as adding locks, curtains, armor, and maybe a dragon or two. What’s up S’mores, I’m Shannon Morse, and welcome to Day 16 of the 30 Day Security Challenge. Every day this month I’m helping you build better security habits one tiny step at a time so the internet feels a whole lot less scary. If you missed yesterday’s episode about choosing the right browser and securing your internal browser settings, go back and watch that one first. Today we are building on those basics and adding the good stuff. Extensions create a powerful extra layer of protection, blocking trackers, forcing encrypted connections, stopping malicious ads, and keeping your browsing private. Here’s what we cover in this episode: 🔒 Why privacy focused extensions matter 🌐 HTTPS Everywhere 🦡 Privacy Badger 🚫 Ad blockers like uBlock Origin and AdBlock ⚡ Manifest V3 and why uBlock Origin Lite exists ❤️ How to support content creators while still protecting your data 🟣 ProtonVPN browser extension 🤖 2025 AI privacy concerns inside browsers ✨ How to customize your setup for the best protection Remember, extensions are helpful, but they cannot replace smart browsing habits or the rest of your security layers.
