## Description

Fortinet Secure Browser protects your browser against web threats, including phishing/malicious websites and malicious file downloads.

Links in phishing emails (or from any other source) can trick you into providing your credentials or downloading and installing malicious software like ransomware.

When you access such a malicious website or download a file, this browser extension will leverage the Fortinet detection engines to deeply inspect it. If the content is found to be malicious, the extension can block access to prevent harm.
