If you’re in a hurry (or have a really short attention span) you can watch this 2-minute video of how to change some of the default/standard security settings on Chrome. You can even go with a “monkey-see, monkey-do” attitude-so with just a few clicks, you’re all set and your browser is more secure.

Now, if you’re the kind of person who reads car and appliance manuals from cover to cover, this video – which runs a little over 10 minutes – will slowly walk you through 11 Chrome Settings and how it will affect your online experience.

What’s cool about it is that most of the settings are hidden and so requires a little bit more tinkering under the hood. It’s really easy to follow though and well worth it.

However, if you’re unsure or worried about changing the default settings of your Chrome browser (you’re probably thinking they must be default for a reason, right?), this 2-minute video tutorial will show you how to password-protect your Chrome browser.

It’s a simple process, but, just so you know, it will require you to type in a password every time you want to use your browser.

You can implement all or none of the suggestions above, or even look for other tips and tricks you can apply to make your browser, and browsing, experience faster and more secure.

As with everything you read on the internet, take the time to carefully consider your options.
