BE SECURE!

Hi!We use smartphone,laptop and other devices. All of them access to the internet. Many files have malware, If you install or use these files, you will have many problems also hackers can access to your data such as accounts and passwords.I wrote name of some apps that you should not use these apps. I will introduce more secure apps.
WHATSAPP
whatsapp is one of the worst of this list.how ever it is very popular. Hackers can access to your data easily in this app also it has many problems such as you can't send huge files.This app encrypt all chats and files.However it isn't safe.Best apps you can replace with whatsapp is signal.
signal encrypt your chats and files but it is more secure than whatsapp. Another one is one of the oldest application. Telegram is the best messenger i have ever seen.Because it is fast,secure.It has many other features.

CHROME
Another popular app is chrome. Chrome isn't very good, why?
because it uses too much ram and less security than others.
One of the best app that you can use and replace with chrome is mozila. It is faster and it uses less ram than chrome and it is more secure. But opera is much better and i think is the best browser. The priority objective of this browser is privacy.It is fast.It has many other features such as speed dial. The best feature is turbo mode it makes websites faster and you can use them when you don't have a standard connection. Turbo mode compress content of the websites.
Another best app is brave. Brave block rapid ads.Some websites ads are like virus and malware, brave block them.Brave is really fast and secure. Another app that you can use is Tor. Tor makes you anonymous in web.It hide all location, IP and other information about your device. It is different with other browsers. Because it has best security and best browser for d*a*r*k w*e*b. DON'T TRY TO OPEN ANY WEBSITES IN D*A*R*K*W*E*B.THESE BROWSERS ARE BETTER THAN CHROME. MOST OF THE TIME I USE MOZILLA AND OPERA.

GMAIL
It is the second app from google which doesn't have enough privacy and security.Best app that we can replace that with gmail is protonmail.This app is more secure,and more convenience than gmail.

Another app is zoho that you can use.It is more secure.Zoho has many features. If you are an entrepreneur you can contact to other entrepreneurs. Another feature is stream, with this ability you can answer email directly like chat in messenger but you have to tag your friend or someone in your email otherwise they can't answer that.

Google search
This one isn't an application it is search engine. Best search engine is duckduck go. Duck duck go is more secure. It makes you anonymous and encrypt your data. If you use duck duck go and tor, you will be safe and it isn't easy to hack your data or files. You can add it easy first open your settings of your browser then go to the search settings.I explain that in the following pictures on firefox.
