archmage94 the above suggestions are pretty good. here's what i have. chrome latest always logged in. as for google i never login unless i want to cleanup my mailboxes(i use outlook for my mail). i suggest never going through your mail online(in your Browser). once a week i check my addons and get rid of anything that might have been added without permission. adblock plus is the adblocker i use. my main browser is cyberfox, but i have chrome for those few pages that firefox and it's forks like cyberfox can't handle. i have ccleaner and use it to clean the browser after i exit the browser. awdcleaner is great to run once a week along with malwarebytes. there is also zemana which you can get a 90 day key for or join their beta program(don't remember how long the key is on the beta program). i suggest you check the chrome store for a redirect blocker. and lastly fvd speed dial. it's nice cause you can backup both speed dials and your bookmarks. i recently had something in chrome that i could not get rid of, so i uninstalled chrome, created a new gmail/google account just for use with chrome, signed in, went to the chrome store and got fvd speed dial and my other addons back and was problem free once again. never been fond of chrome cause it eats too many resources, but for ease of getting rid of malware or a virus in it it is FAR easier to cleanup than firefox or it's fork projects.
