      🛡️ Got pop-ups, redirects, or suspicious toolbars in iBrowe? Sounds like you may have unwanted software or malware on your device — but don’t worry, you can clean it up quickly.

      Here’s how: 1️⃣ Remove suspicious apps: In Finder → Applications, delete anything unfamiliar (Empty Trash afterward). 2️⃣ Reset iBrowe settings: Menu → Settings → Advanced → Restore settings to original defaults. This resets homepage/search engine, disables extensions, and clears temporary site data (bookmarks, history, and passwords are safe). 3️⃣ Re-enable trusted extensions only: Menu → More Tools → Extensions, and switch on only the ones you know.

      Stay protected next time:

      Install apps only from official sources

      Keep your OS and iBrowe updated

      Use reliable antivirus/malware scanners

      Avoid “free prize” pop-ups or links in suspicious emails
