The most popular web browser in the world, Google Chrome is already highly secure and the best choice for those worried about their privacy and safety online. One of the great things about the browser is you can easily customize it and add extensions to personalize your experience. One such option is to add a VPN extension so that you're further protected from threats as well as the potential risks of your ISP spying on what you're doing online.

VPN extensions work a little differently from full VPN clients as they simply route browser traffic through a proxy server rather than encrypt data like a true VPN connection.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.
