An employee uses a shared office computer and wants to keep their personal banking login secure. They currently let the browser save passwords. What is the best practice to protect their credentials on this shared machine?

Use a dedicated password manager with a master password and do not save passwords in the browser.

Clear the browser cache after each banking session.

Continue saving passwords in the browser but enable private browsing for banking sites.

Use the same strong password for all sites to reduce the number of saved credentials.

A marketing employee frequently visits a dashboard that loads slowly because of large images and scripts. They install an ad-blocking add-on, but the page still loads slowly. What is the most likely reason the add-on did not improve performance, and what should they try next?

The add-on only blocks ads, not all large resources; they should clear the browser cache to force fresh downloads.

The browser cache is full; they should clear it to free up disk space.

The add-on is disabled for that specific site; they should enable it for all sites in the add-on settings.

The add-on is not compatible with the browser version; they should uninstall and reinstall it.

What is the primary purpose of the browser cache?

To temporarily store web page resources to speed up loading on subsequent visits

To permanently store a history of all websites visited

To store user passwords and login credentials

To block malicious websites from loading
