Before starting a browser game, check the page address and distinguish the game controls from advertisements. A Play button should not require you to install an unrelated executable or grant permissions that the game does not need.
No checklist can guarantee that a site is safe. The checks below explain warning signs around downloads, popups and permissions, and when to stop using a page.
Green flags (good signs)
- The game loads without asking you to download files.
- No surprise prompts to install extensions or allow notifications.
- Stable navigation (no endless popups).
Be careful (watch these)
- Ads covering the game area.
- Popup tabs opening repeatedly.
- “Allow notifications” prompts appearing immediately.
Red flags (close the tab)
- Forced downloads (EXE, APK, ZIP) or fake “update required” messages.
- Requests to install a browser extension to “play”.
- Scary alert pages trying to lock your screen.
