What are the benefits of using Fortect Browser Protection?

First of all, we have tested the Fortect app for PC, an optimizer tool that can fix any Windows system issues and optimize your machine to top performance.

The Fortect Browser Protection extension is a free offspring developed by the same company to help you safeguard your online activity.

Here are some of the benefits that Fortect Browser Protection brings to the table:

  • It detects any suspicious website activity and issues a warning
  • Blocks any malicious website
  • Identifies any harmful extensions and blocks them
  • Alerts you and prevents websites from pushing annoying notifications to your browser
  • It notifies you about any information leaks in your browser

For such a small browser extension, Fortect Browser Protection greatly protects your online activity. Let’s go on and see how you can install and use it.

How do I install and use Fortect Browser Protection?

  1. Go to the Chrome web store and click the Add button to your browser.
  2. Click the Add extension button.
  3. After the extension is added, hit Continue in the new window.
  4. Fortect Browser Protection will scan your browser for any issues.

  10. That’s it! Click on the Fortect Protection Suite button to get into the main menu of the web app.

If it looks complicated, we assure you it’s not! The process takes less than 3 minutes, including scanning and issuing clearance.

It’s also worth noting that although we used Google Chrome as an example here, it works on all Chromium browsers, including Opera and Edge. We actually installed Fortect Browser Protection on the mentioned browsers to protect them as well.

However, after creating an account for Fortect Browser Protection, the process will be much quicker when you install the extension on other browsers.

That is because you will only need to enter your account and password that you have already set up, and you will be ready to go.

  6. In the Notifications tab below, you will be able to enable or disable the annoying notifications blocking from any websites.
  7. At last, from the Settings tab, you may change your account information and password.

That’s all about Fortect Browser Protection! It’s a very useful extension you install and forget about until you visit a malicious or wrongful website trying to attack or annoy you.
