Answer from AI

The minimum level of web browser security check typically includes the following basic steps:

  • Checking the currency of the browser version and installed plugins — outdated software often contains vulnerabilities.
  • Checking browser security settings (for example, whether pop-up blockers are enabled, cookie settings, site permissions).
  • Testing for common vulnerabilities such as XSS (cross-site scripting) and CSRF (cross-site request forgery) using simple scripts or tools.
  • Checking browser behavior when loading malicious or suspicious sites (for example, response to security certificates).

For a basic assessment, it is sufficient to verify that the browser is updated, basic security settings are enabled, and simple tests for common vulnerabilities are conducted. This will help identify critical issues without a deep audit.
