To increase security, you can use Windows 11 to create BitLocker on Internal or external storage such as Flashdisk, SD Card, external hard disk or other external storage as long as you are still using the NTFS, FAT16, FAT32, or exFAT file system.

- Step 6. You must specify your preferred encryption method first between New encryption mode (XTS-AES 128-bit, supports Windows 10 and Windows 11 only) or Compatible mode (AES-CBC 128-bit, supports Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8/8.1.) .
- Step 7. Finally, to start the process, please click Start Encrypting.
And it’s done. If there is already a lock icon on the partition, then the encryption process has been completed. You will be asked to enter the password that was created before each time you want to open the partition.

Google has added new features to protect your Web pages and Activity, which include things like searches, YouTube watch history, and questions asked to the Google assistant.
You only need to manually activate the password protection system to use it. Here’s how you can do it

In most cases, each computer will have more than one browser installed. This is common because any browser can be an alternative to browsing activities. The existence of several browsers can be another alternative if the browser used is problematic for some reason. Using more than one browser can also provide a different browsing experience.
Of the several browsers on your computer, one browser will certainly be your favorite browser for browsing activities and another may only be used occasionally. Due to being a favorite browser and one that is often used, you may already have a lot of bookmarks in that browser.
if your favorite browser is Google Chrome and there are many bookmarks in that browser, you can copy or move the bookmarks to another browser, for example the Mozilla Firefox browser as your second browser.
Fortunately, it is not that difficult to move data from Google Chrome to Mozilla Firefox. Mozilla Firefox memiliki fitur untuk mengimpor bookmark dari browser lain. Bookmark yang telah diimpor akan menjadi bookmark di browser Mozilla Firefox dan memiliki struktur yang sama dengan bookmark di browser aslinya. Berikut adalah cara mengimpor bookmark browser Google Chrome di browser Mozilla Firefox:

Select the Chrome browser option. Then click Next.
- Choose what data you want to import. Then click Next.
- Done.
After the transfer process is complete, the data on Google Chrome in the form of bookmarks, cookies, history, and passwords will be displayed on Mozilla Firefox.
