Say what an extension is
See what has been added to your browser and take off what you did not choose.
An extension is a small program added to your browser to change how it works — blocking ads, saving passwords.
One can read every page you visit, so keep only the ones you went looking for.
Key points
- An extension is a small program added to your browser
- The Extensions list shows every one, and any can be removed
What to remember
- Removing one changes nothing else.
- What appears on every page belongs to the browser.
Try this
Open the Extensions list in your own browser and read it. Anything unfamiliar can come off.
