2. Use secure browsers like;
BRAVE which you can get from their official page

Brave browser guys ruined the whole project the day they decided to become regulated and started enforcing KYC on their users. This means as long as there are decent open source and very popular browsers such as Firefox, there is no reason to use something like Brave!

Tip: if using hardware wallets(Ledger/Trezor) it would probably be a better idea if you don't use their official software for making transactions, just to be sure. Quick reminder that you can (and it's recommended) for you to connect your hardware wallets to reputable non-custodial wallets like Electrum instead.

1. Avoid visiting sites with low trust score and security warnings. These security warnings are usually displayed in your browser.

The sign of unsecure website is still use http, the secure website is already use http"s".

2. Use secure browsers like;
   BRAVE which you can get from their official page
   https://brave.com/
   TOR browser which you can get from.
   https://www.torproject.org

Most of browsers are secure, but some of them are spying e.g. chrome. Brave and Tor are very known as private browsers, the bad side of Tor is slow connection.

Don't trust, verify. Don't directly trust the wallet because you download from official website, verify the key.

Avoid use ledger Ledger Recovery - Send your (encrypted) recovery phrase to 3rd parties entities

I'll add:
1. Don't participate in any giveaway, bounties, airdrop etc.
2. Don't click any random link.
3. Don't install any unnecessary software or apps.

One of the most important things I have learnt from this forum is how to secure your digital assets.
Here are a couple of things you should avoid after setting up your air gapped device or when installing your wallet generally;
1. Avoid visiting sites with low trust score and security warnings. These security warnings are usually displayed in your browser.
2. Use secure browsers like;
BRAVE which you can get from their official page
https://brave.com/
TOR browser which you can get from.
https://www.torproject.org
You can even make use of the local browser that comes with your OS as long as your privacy is safe and your device is protected from malware.
3.And most importantly always get your softwares from their official pages especially when installing a wallet software. This will reduce your chances of installing a malware or getting an altered or monitored version of that software.
Here are some official pages of some of the most secure and popular wallet softwares
LEDGER.
https://www.ledger.com/ledger-live
TREZOR.
https://trezor.io/
MYCELIUM.
https://wallet.mycelium.com/
ELECTRUM.
https://electrum.org/

And most importantly Don't forget to keep your keys safe mate😁
