Answer:

Explanation:

If Meg is concern about her privacy then she can follow these steps:

1. Delete all the information from her current browse: this will avoid the further leak of information
2. Change browser: If Meg is worried that the browser she is using is taking too much information, she could try changing the privacy policies of her browser but her information is already compromised if possible install a privacy-centric web browser and delete the old browser
3. Use a password manager: a password manager is intended to be a highly secure program to store passwords, with this Meg can use the main password or biometric authentication to store all her passwords and she doesn't need to memorize all her password either save them on a web browser
4. Enable do not track: Whether Meg follows step number two or not, she should select the do not track option, this way she can avoid to shares her location with the browser and results relevant to the place where she lives
