Digital Foundation Workshop: BETTER WEB BROWSING

About the event

As we spend more of our time collectively online, it has become important to know more about the tools we use to connect with various websites, apps, and through which we do everything from pursue research to play games. This workshop will provide background on the differences between the most popular browsers, and some tips and tricks for customizing your web browsing experience with tools, settings, and extensions/plugins, making time spent online more productive, engaging, and enjoyable. We will also delve into the ways in which your browser can help you to take more control over your digital footprint. To that end, we’ll review settings and configurations; discuss maintenance habits; and review a few specific plug-ins and extensions that can enhance security online.

Registration is not required for this workshop. Students should try to bring their own laptop if they have one. We’ll be working with Edge, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. Of course, phone browsers also have some things we could talk about, but that won’t be the focus for this talk.

This workshop will be led by Richard Snyder, DTC Instructor and Ph.D. Student, English.
