The MOST private browser

Published 2021-04-30
The major browsers discussed in this video are Chrome, Safari, Mozilla Firefox, Tor Browser, Microsoft Edge, and Brave. There is often a trade-off between privacy and convenience with browsers, but there are some great options that give you a good degree of both.
An important note: A privacy-focused browser is essential for private internet usage… but it’s not sufficient. There are many ways your internet usage can be tracked. To learn more, check out some of the other videos in my privacy series, that will give you a great introduction to how to live a modern, privacy-conscious lifestyle!
Btw a browser is different from a search engine. For the most private search engines, see this video: • The Most PRIVATE Search Engine

There are LOTS of people in the comments asking about Duck Duck Go. That is a primarily a search engine, not a browser, although they do have a browser app that's only available for smart phone. A browser is different from a search engine. For the most private search engines, including duckduckgo, see this video: https://youtu.be/o4sMstvwi0I

Google circa 2000: "Don't be evil." Google in 2020: "We ARE evil."

Actually, TOR does NOT disable JavaScript by default. It will, however, if you change the security settings from Standard to Safer of Safest. TOR at first launch is, by default, set to the Standard setting.
-
I agree that some browsers are more secure than others but counting on the browser itself to protect privacy might not be enough...similar to the discussion of VPNs when ppl think one VPN is more mature and famous than others, there's no way to find out if my data has been leaked or even sold.

I don't usually watch tech videos but your editing kept me glued and this was the only video about tech that didn't bore me.

As a kid I started with IE. Later teenage years, I shifted to FF. But when GC came out, I was one of the first to migrate to using it up until 2 years ago, I left GC and used Brave due to privacy concerns. At present, I returned to FF because of Multi-Account Containers.
-
Preferably you would like to have a reasonable amount of privacy while still keeping the fingerprint you leave behind relatively generic. If you're the only person visiting websites with a specific user-agent and a specific unusually strict set of privacy settings, your visits can still be noticed.

Nice usage of the "Kids' Guide to the Internet" clip. 😆
-
Nice information Naomi. Glasses and outfit matching perfectly also by the way.
-
The content of your video was informative and clearly presented, but your comment section is pretty good, too. Thank you!
-
Cancel facebook.

Thank you YouTube for bringing me here. Subbed, and thanks for the fantastic run down.
-
Thank you for explaining this so well.
-
Technically it's not Brave that needs your ID to withdraw the crypto, but Uphold (as any exchange legally has to) where you must follow what is a bare minimum to satisfy government mandated know-your-customer/client.
-
Thanks for the information. I've been using Firefox for the reasons you mention for years now. I think I'll check out your other videos.
-
Thank you for setting a good example in displaying the sources of your included media on screen 👍
-
Great video, subbed. Concise, clear, and well presented.
-
great analysis... I was going to try comparing browsers, but you did it for me
-
Good job, Naomi! I already know the most of the things in the video, but still found it super interesting!
-
I've always trusted brave the most, they're not lying when they say they know what's wrong and they've fixed most of it. I was switched to it from chrome and I was honestly shocked, I thought I wouldn't ever switch from chrome. Nowadays I just hate how so many people are using chrome ( no offense to chrome users ) but chrome is just so overrated and brave or even firefox need more attention.
