If you love surfing online, consider this free, discreet add-on that helps secure your browsing and can protect your privacy: Avira Browser Safety (for Opera, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge) was designed to shield you from dangerous and phishing websites, malicious advertisements, and online tracking.

It also helps stop potentially unwanted applications (PUAs) from hiding in your downloads—once inside your system, they could spy on you or display an annoying stream of ads.
