Internet Tips and Tricks Increase efficiency

Hard to protect what you don’t understand How does the internet work?
How do I keep it safe? If I always get to the right webserver, that’s safe enough, right?
How do I keep it safe? If I keep my system and browser up to date and have anti-virus, that is surely enough, right???
How do I keep it safe? So I keep my computer and browser up to date, have anti-virus software with good zero day protection, have a safe DNS server, and safe-browsing plugin. Am I safe? You’re in really good shape for protecting, but not safe.
