What is a browser extension?

A browser extension is a small software module that adds specific features and functionalities to a web browser. These extensions can perform a variety of tasks, from managing passwords and blocking ads to enhancing browser security or improving productivity by integrating with other services.

Wrap-Up:

Extensions are more than just tools; they are your gateway to a more productive and organised work life. Test them out, mix and match, and find the perfect combination that suits your professional flow! Some extensions are available on both browsers, so feel free to explore your preferred browsers' store for more. 

However, installing rogue browser extensions can pose significant security risks, including data theft, unauthorised access to business networks, and exposure to malware.
