Should I prune?

I'm considering pruning these four sets of newly emerging leaves (the horizontal growth shown in the 1st photo). It's my first ever time growing chilli plants so I wanted to get some advice before I do anything drastic. Would pruning at this stage benefit my plant in any way? It's been around 3 months since germination and the plant has reached 30cm in height with a fork recently developing. I have a feeling it might be a bit leggy and hoping it would get more bushy. Any advice would be appreciated!
