Description:
Connecting to a website securely means several things, all of which contribute to secure your access to the websites you visit: * the connection between your computer and the website's server is [https://learn.equalit.ie/wiki/Encrypted_connections '''encrypted''']; * there are '''no [https://trackography.org/ leaks of information]''' about the current session to third parties; * you do not expose yourself to '''[https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/8091?hl=en malware infection]''' by visiting a compromised website. Read the [https://help.riseup.net/en/better-web-browsing Better Browsing] guide by RiseUp for details on how to browse with greater security in Firefox or Chrome (in general, these are the recommended browsers when discussing security). <br /> The [https://www.eff.org/HTTPS-EVERYWHERE HTTPS Everywhere] browser add-on by the Electronic Frontier Foundation ensures that you connect securely and with trusted credentials to thousands of websites. <br /> In all cases, make sure that your computer's operating system is up-to-date, that you are using the latest version of your browser and that you are running [https://securityinabox.org/en/guide/avast/windows anti-malware] protection. Install the recommended extensions from the RiseUp guide and review the [https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-do-i-protect-myself-against-malware How Do I Protect Myself Against Malware?] guide from the EFF. <br /> You may also wish to use an anonymity network or a VPN to reach the desired website as explained in the [[I want to be anonymous when browsing the web]] section. <br />
