Definitions
Public service announcement. Borrowed from broadcast TV, where a PSA is a short non-commercial spot warning the public about something. Online, it's tagged onto posts where the writer wants to flag useful information or a warning to a wide audience — sometimes seriously, often sarcastically.
PSA: your "private" browsing tabs are not as private as you think they are.
