How to configure your Chromebook for ultimate security
Chromebooks are fantastic PCs for people who just need the basics and a computer that doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. Because of that philosophy, a Chromebook is already an ultra-secure computer straight out of the box.
But you can always do more, particularly if you want to minimize traces of your internet wanderings or prevent your every online action from contributing to an advertising profile.
You may share a Chromebook with others or desire a setup that’s protected against the latest security threats. Perhaps it’s time for a little de-Googling in your life, as the giant from Mountain View can collect a lot of information about you.
Whatever your reasons, here are some ways to fortify your Chromebook’s security and privacy.
OWN YOUR GOOGLE SECURITY
Chrome OS benefits from Google’s ongoing security efforts to identify malicious websites and sandbox each browser tab so one site can’t take down your whole computer.
Good security, however, includes you and how you manage your own data. In this case, it means ensuring that you’ve properly secured your own Google account.
