I just noticed by chance last week that when my father entered a URL in Chrome, he entered it into the google search field instead of into the browser's address bar => not great as at that time he was trying to connect to his bank's online banking site so if anybody manages to show in Google's top results some fake site he would fall for it no matter how much "hardened" his PC could be => now I'll have to explain him the difference, and the fact that you can as well submit a search directly in the browser's URL address bar definitely does not make this more simple, pfff... .
- mlac 7y agoYeah. He's on a Chromebook now but there are still ways it can go sideways. And toolbars continuously get installed (I need to lock that down next time I'm there). This could be a benefit of banking by App using an iPad like another user recommended, but I'm not sure. I guess if iPad OS has mouse support then a keyboard and mouse could be the best of both worlds...
