Disable all browser add-ons.
Rationale: browser extensions are a common and powerful attack vector (malicious or vulnerable extensions can inject code, exfiltrate data, intercept credentials, or persist after a compromise). Removing or tightly controlling add‑ons significantly reduces that risk. Incognito mode and clearing cache offer only limited local‑privacy benefits and do not stop tracking or malicious extensions; cookie restrictions can break site functionality. Best practice: centrally block/uninstall unapproved extensions and only allow a vetted, whitelisted set via enterprise browser management.
