To stay protected from ads and tracking while browsing, it's best to always keep Surfshark CleanWeb enabled. Using the Surfshark browser app and keeping CleanWeb enabled even when not using the VPN enhances its effectiveness. This way, you'll have consistent ad blocking and privacy features and can use the VPN only when you need extra security to encrypt your connection. As for the VPN, there are reasons to leave Surfshark on all the time. If you live in a country with strong censorship, Surfshark’s NoBorders mode helps you access the internet while its camouflage mode can keep your internet activity hidden from even your internet service provider (ISP). Speaking of ISPs, Surfshark VPN can also prevent throttling, which happens when your internet provider slows your download speed.
