Google Chrome’s massive market share makes it a major target for hackers. To identify if Chrome has been compromised, users should look for increased resource consumption, suspicious ads/banners, intrusive pop-ups, the sudden appearance of new apps, and browser changes. Remedying these issues may involve using a Mac cleanup tool, resetting Chrome settings, removing unwanted extensions, and not clicking suspicious links. Also, for safer browsing, turn on firewall and install antivirus software.
