In a groundbreaking revelation, web browsers have been declared the first line of defense against phishing attacks. Who knew that programs primarily used to browse cat memes and shop for must-have avocado slicers could moonlight as cybersecurity superheroes? Armed with the latest plugins and a knack for crashing at the worst possible moment, these digital defenders are truly the unsung champions of our times.

Indeed, no one else is better equipped than browsers to save you from yourself—especially since they’re the only piece of software your average user can’t figure out how to uninstall. They’re proactive like that. Forget relying on IT departments or cybersecurity experts; those outdated, overzealous professionals are clearly no match for the raw, untamed power of your browser’s ‘Are you sure you want to visit this site?’ pop-ups.

Moreover, browsers have cleverly disguised themselves as innocuous tools for everyday use to ensure they remain undetected by cybercriminals. Their innovative approach involves appearing as suboptimal as possible, often freezing and crashing, to lull attackers into a false sense of security. It’s all part of their master plan to keep your precious credentials out of the wrong hands… or at least to give you a chance to brew another cup of coffee while they reboot for the third time today.
