More Tips and Recommendations to Increase Online Safety
- Check which internet browser you are using; some are more secure than others.
- Use a computer/device that anyone unsafe hasn’t had/doesn’t have contact to. For example, borrowing a mobile device or utilizing a computer at an internet cafe, public library, a friend’s house, or a social service agency
- Check and edit your computer activity history. On most browsers, Ctrl+H will open the browsing history and Ctrl+J will open the download history.
- Consider if sudden changes in your internet history (for example, erasing the entire history when you don’t normally do this) might alert someone tracking you to a change in your behaviour and increase risk
