Here are the main takeaways from the above. So, how to view porn safely and privately?

• Don’t neglect incognito mode to avoid having your private pleasures possibly go public;
• Use privacy-centric browsers like DuckDuckGo to prevent tracking by advertising networks;
• Keep passwords for any adult site accounts in password managers so that they don’t fall into the wrong hands;
• Surf the web with a reliable VPN to protect your internet traffic from being monitored;
• Don’t pay scammers who claim to have video footage of your naughty pleasures; don’t even reply to their messages;
• Don’t click on random links and tempting banner ads – they usually lead to phishing sites;
• Don’t download applications that promise free access to premium content – chances are they’re trojanised;
• Use antivirus software with reliable antiphishing technologies on all devices you use to access adult content.
