currently i am using Brave and it is using Google Chrome as its engine.

it has good ad blocker, trackers blocker but a vpn would be an advantage.

    privacy? it's an non-existent thing.
    same as your "Freedom"

    but.. you probably meant anonymous not privacy

    Or: relatively more privacy than regular browser :P

    Anyway using EpicBrowser. I like it so far although it obviously doesn't make one anonymous or anything. However they explain pretty well what steps they have taken to secure your browsing experience in comparison to regular browsers. Of course one can only take it this far but at least they try.

    privacy has nothing to do with the browser. privacy has to do with the service provider you use.

    you can use the most anonymous browser in the history of human existence, but if you use gmail. same shit

  • wget, methinks, is the best. Oh yes, cURL, too.

  • Firefox.

    But you still need to re-config it heavily to make it more privacy friendly.

    Meanwhile your ISP is merrily studying your metadata.

    I hate to say it but there is no privacy.

    The intersection of "browser" and "privacy" is the empty set, no matter how many add ons one uses.

    Then the addon begins to spy on you.

    It's a never-ending vicious circle with end-users becoming the only loser with false sense of security.

    Maybe even that but in any case the add on increases bug count and attack surface.

  • Mosaic via SLiRP to a random cash register at Walmart

  • You need an entire range of tools to reduce exposure. A good browser helps, but you certainly need to pair it with a no log VPN. And of course, do not click on random links.

    There is something about "privacy and anonymity" threads online that make me sad.

    People need to realize that they can stay hidden on the internet because they are insignificant.

    In other words, even if they do little to remain anonymous, they will be anonymous regardless.

  • Chrome Incognito.

    I used it just because so they won't suggest me stupid things based on my browsing history. Not for privacy.

    Just use other people's computers to watch subversive porn.
    Pay them of course, be polite, pet their kitty and compliment their sofa.

    Solid advice.
    Using other people's machines is probably the safest option.

    Firefox tries to sell themselves as privacy-friendly browser these days, trying to resist browser fingerprinting, although it is nowhere close to perfect. Just make sure you understand that incognito mode doesn't hide you from your ISP, Google, Facebook, or any targeted ad. There is no such thing as privacy on the Internet.

    Tails on USB.

    But you're talking about fake privacy.
