Abstract
The prevailing cybersecurity problem continues to distract internet users from having a smooth and safe web browsing experience. With this issue encountered, the study aims to provide a product design that focuses on preventing and lessening cybersecurity threats through a browser security extension that is more reliable and convenient for users. The study will utilize the design thinking approach to determine the proposed product's design. The major findings of the study show that users are still facing issues with used and familiar available extensions, and a centralized all-in-one browser security extension that includes features such as Ad Manager, Cookies Manager, Website Blocker/Tracker, VPN, and a personalized dashboard would be beneficial to meet their security needs, however, further testing and feedback are still needed to provide improvements for the proposed product.
