What is the best web browser if it comes to #privacy? Chrome is out of the question, I’m leaning towards Brave or Firefox. For MacOS, iOS & Linux 😇

@stux When it comes to privacy (without taking performance into account) I think TOR would be the best. Although it's so slow that it becomes unusable sometimes.

@stux I use Safari on macOS and iOS. For me, it’s the most secure and privacy aware. I love Firefox, but to sync, I have to create an account with them. Brave has a similar problem, and also they’re making some kind of crypto play I don’t understand.With Safari, I already have an Apple ID, so it doesn’t require a *new* account, and Apple is already storing this information for me in iCloud for syncing, and I trust their security and that they aren’t making money off my data.

@stux https://privacytests.orgAs for Brave check the news theres some things u may not like, for Firefox theres custom user.js files for easy modifications for privacy.But true privacy needs more than just a browser, u need adblocking, script blocking, fingerprint blocking......ugh.

@stux I find Firefox/Mozilla to be quite serious about privacy. Built-in Facebook Container to block Facebook trackers. Always calmly advising you to check your privacy settings. And it always just works. I use Firefox with Duckduckgo as search engine for personal use, and use other browsers for work related stuff.

@stux Firefox, which is FOSS. Brave is a Chromium browser. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that Brave is less private, it does mean that it will have to adopt the same changes that Chrome does (like ending support for ad-blockers).

@stux I use Librewolf with containers, but you can also use Falkon and it doesn't connect to any place when you open it, if you disable the start page and anti tracker option.Privacy Browser PC from stoutner.com is not ready yet but I also use it with simple websites.

@stux Firefox. . It has the killer feature of container tabs. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-use-firefox-containersIt also has the added advantage of not being based on Chromium, which IMHO is good for the internet.

@stux I've had luck with Brave on mobile because it's Chromium based and everything on mobile is centred around Chrome these days, but Firefox has been great for desktop, especially with HTTPS-Only and Do Not Track.

@stux I like Vivaldi a lot; it's built on the Chromium engine, so I get extensions from the Chrome web store. Opera also seemed pretty good — used it a while, but switched to Vivaldi, which I like better.One nice thing: If a site insists that I allow ads, I can allow ads and still block trackers.https://vivaldi.net

@stux people tend to recommend Brave.I kind of like @Vivaldi (Vivaldi), but that's also because I have an account anyway (it is my primary mail provider) so I can use things like browser sync (bookmarks, settings, etc.).Firefox as a backup (and my daily driver for years prior the Vivaldi), but it feels a bit slower than Chromium based browsers. Also Firefox when I am on openBSD (my backup OS on this laptop).

@stux Firefox for PC (Linux and the token windows laptop I keep around). Partially because it’s something I’m comfortable with…even the annoying bits. Brave did a few weird things I didn’t like (crypto) so I ditched it. For iOS you might as well use Safari. They put a fair amount of effort into it and all the browsers are safari underneath anyway.I don’t care if chrome is the “standard” when it started surfacing stuff I browsed in other apps/emails I couldn’t drop it fast enough.
