What Browser to Use? About Browser Isolation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 лип 2024
- Which browser should I use? The answer I give to this frequently asked question is "all". And in today's video I explain more specifically what this means. What I teach here is what I call: Browser isolation, and if used properly is a very effective way of blocking Google and Facebook from knowing your browsing history.
This is a very specific implementation and it is very effective and flawless at least on computer browsers. There are different additional risks on phones.

This man is an Internet treasure.
A hero!
I concur, but more than that Rob's a human treasure, born for such a time as this, for all of US.

Long live Rob!
Что за 💩на Аве?
That dislike is from google
Or from associates 😊
From zuckerberg
That's hilarious :D
The guy is a little confused. Maybe that's the reason for dislikes.
Definitely someone asociated with their ways.
This video may be three years old but it still fascinates and opens your eyes. Thank you, Mr Braxman.
You'd have to be reckless to still be using Facebook in 2021.
Never had any SM Apart from YT.
Never needed these in my life.
Most people also don't need it.
Centralizing anything is end of freedom. It's same with all cloud crap.
@@mmatous true. it sucks because instagram wasn't owned by facebook until only recently. i love instagram and of course hate facebook so i only run instagram on my phone with either the "Barinsta" instagram wrapper app, or i simply use Blokada vpn host blocker to block all kinds of analytics, ads, etc. while i use instagram
@@ImHeadshotSniper can you upload images when using Barinsta or no posts at all?
@@blankpage9277 unfortunately no posts i believe. other than that i really like the UI. they have placed liked and saved posts on your profile page, and the discovery page lists all categories including "for you" instead of instagrams forcing of showing "for you" automatically
@@mmatous Same thing
I love this guy.
Master!
@Rob Braxman Tech - When we are all held down and forcibly injected within the next few weeks, will we not be 'owned, tracked, traced and completely controlled' via our own bodies ultimately making your information on other devices moot??
i love him more
@@HighSpeedNoDrag get a room😄😄😄
@@zumamaya2396 What about the viewers saying they Love him?
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh, google stopped saying "dont be evil" years ago. Now they suppress elections against anti-globalist candidates and censor dissidents.
i would give you a thumbs up, but in view of what Rob says. i think I will just say, Yes! You are so right
@@fredjones43 haaaaaa
This guy is phenomenal! Btw, not very high tech, how do I change my to a "screen name so my real name doesn't appear on pages?? Android phone
No, you all just misunderstood.. That was an order for everyone else. "don't be evil, by believing anything we don't want you to believe" see, that's what it really means.
@@valeriehancotte-galan4790 Go change it on your actual Google account. You have a Google Account, and under that is UA-cam. I believe you have to change it on the Google Account itself
Sir, I've been preaching this for years I call it browsing compartmentalization but your term is way better and you explain it better too... you've done me a huge service, I can now just point people here. Thank you so much.
You need to write a book with all this info, unfortunately it will probably go out-of-date very fast.
Exactly
@@robbraxmantech - what are your thoughts on the Rumble video platform? I just learned about it yesterday and know nothing about it as compared to YT and such. Thank you for any info.
what's this thing you call "a book"?
Where have you been all my life? You make this internet stuff so much easier to understand. I'm definitely making changes thanks to you.
I stumbled across this channel purely by accident but THANK GOODNESS! Simple. Easy. Effective.
Only found your channel two days ago, and already love your content. You've been blowing my mind, and offering different options than what I've typically done.
Welcome aboard!
You just simplified my life. All those years trying to do complicated things to protect my privacy. Thanks man.
I love this channel. Been binge watching Rob Braxman videos for weeks.
you're incredibly smart and wise Rob! this is one of the most important things google and facebook users should be concerned about without a doubt.
you brought up an incredibly real and fantastic point, "ad targeting today can be used for any kind of message targetting tomorrow."
So glad there are people like you Rob. Sharing knowledge like this in a time critical to practice it. Cheers Mate from Australia
Hi Rob, we love what you do! Don't stop!
I think this is the first lecture in 50 years that I didn't loose attention after 10 minutes.
Great stuff Rob. I always tune-in to your shows.
Thank you so much! I know a lot of what you are saying, but I get some great insight here and there. I'm very happy that you are sharing and educating the rest. Keep it going and God Speed!
Thank you!
Thank you for this video, when I saw it, I thought this is a gift. Just the right video at the right time for me. Thank you very much.
I was in college in some isp course when the teacher said, “Google just hit a million pages in their search index!”, lol about 20 years ago now they effectively run the world
Thanks for this EXCELLENT information, Rob! Very understandable, useful and applicable to almost all of your audience.
Hi, i have just discovered your channel. I did the fingerprint test you coded, my vpn is holding yet a lot of informations are avalaible, amazing! Great work. Bye.
Yes... and it is not browser specific. The browser is just one part of the fingerprint and at least for Facebook it is possible to just pattern match fingerprints to be able to recognize a user.
This is so depressing,surfing the internet isn't fun anymore,rather watch my📽🎬 dvd film collection,theres no trackers there.good video👍
What’s the difference? Google is so steeped in censorship, you can hardly find anything using google search anymore anyway.
@@fredjones43 i dont know if you are talking to cristina or someone else who deleted their comment but ,....are you really asking what the difference is between watching your PRIVATE DVD COLLECTION on your DVD player and surfing the internet full of spying trackers and other clingy garbage? they're not even on the same planet.
@@Hy-Brasil Not at all. What I meant was, why worry about trying to use google search anymore since they have messed it up so bad, you can’t find anything anymore. It ignores your specific query and answers something you did not ask it. As for using it to watch your dvd’s, I don’t believe it is terrible to do that if you limit that browser to you dvd’s and other google services. For everything else, use a different browser. Rob Braxman says in that way you can severely limit their tracking capability. I am assuming she is not using google to watch dvd’s she does not want it known she is watching? I assume she knows better than that.
Remember, smart TVs are watching us
I don't think this should be as depressing as people think it is. The depression comes from fear, the fear comes from the unknown; we don't know how much they know about us or how they're using it so it's scary. The more you know the less fearful you will be and the less depressed you will be. The insinuation is "Google knows everything you do online" or something like that, scary, but move past your fears and the truth is more like Google is a system of CCTV cameras on public streets. It sees little bits of your public life (browsing the internet) and that's it. It uses AI to try to make assumptions about you that it can use for its purposes. The assumptions are always wrong because browsing the internet even for a heavy internet user is not their entire life, but they can still be useful when aggregated across many, many users even with this very low acuity. If you've ever tried to advertise to users on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, you will see just how bad these assumptions are by how they target your ads. Actually they know almost nothing, but the fear of these systems cripples dissidents needlessly and yes they are improving their information over time.
Your channel & info is amazing for someone like me who has no tech savvy at all ... thank you for your advice it’s invaluable, I’m ordering a Linux phone too...
This was pure gold. I’d take it further. Use device isolation. A different computer for each service.
Thank you for the work you do. I see in your description that you use alternative communications, like ham radio. I was just thinking the other day about what people would do if the powers that be decided to just flip the internet's off-switch. Not many even know what ham radio is, and even less know how to use it
I really love the information you provide! Thank you for your work!
So helpful. I just bought a new device and I will be taking your advice as I set it up. Thank you.
Yay I've been slowly transitioning to doing all the things Brax suggested here, even before I watched the video. 👍
Saw something a couple days ago that I did not even know it exist
A disposable browsers seem quite interesting and very secure
As always appreciate your video! content and you sharing your knowledge with all of us big thanks in advance...
feeling greatful for your efforts sir!!
I've been using the term for a while but zucking and it's many forms is a favorite.
Man, this channel is GREAT.
This tutorial really helps:). So You have a additional subscriber, and keep up the excellent work:).
Rob you are golden, made of gold, platinum, precious love. thank you namaste.
Thanks, I use the browser separation as well. Thanks for the tips with pihole and remove the adds ads there.
You're welcome!
I love this guys. I learned a lot. Thanks Rob.
I've been using at least three browsers to different purposes. Yes browser isolation is a good designation. Also been doing phone isolation 10:12 too. Will be interesting to learn and compare in details. Problems like privacy define their own solution.
Rob is a legend. Freedom and privacy should be important to everyone.
Best guy why i dont have any friends like u? I could possibly talk to you for days. Ask you things and get me learning all this stuff all day long lol
I have been using and advocating this technique for years as well - I call it "Browser Sandboxing".
Along with practicing separation of concerns with browsers/devices I use a user-agent add-on which lets me set and rotate key browser meta data on each session start. I've tested this as well with your fingerprinting site.
they'll know you have that add-on if you go to ip leak it'll be listed on your browser as something you have which will raise some red flags for them as you being a person of suspicious interest.
This is an awesome video! I never looked at it that way!
I'd appreciate your opinion as I'm stuck on making a tough decision. I'm looking for an optimal web browser set up for maximum online privacy. I'm debating which of these 3 options is best. The first option is using 4 different web browsers, 1 for each (email, banking, shopping and general web browsing). Option 2 is using Firefox exclusively and having 4 different user profiles set up. Option 3 is to use just 1 Firefox user profile and create "containers". I love firefox and really prefer option 3 best then option 2 because it would be great using 1 browser. However, I'm thinking it will not offer the most security against fingerprinting and tracking. I'm new to all this and would greatly appreciate your suggestions!
Everyone's favorite uncle. Thank you.
I don't know why, but I automatically trust advice from people of Asian descent. I think it goes back to my youth watching martial arts tv and movies. I know this is going to burn me one day but it hasn't so far. Love ya Rob. You are doing a great service and I hope your YT channel takes off big.
Oh, I almost forgot. I have been using Ungoogled Chromium for quite a while now. I like it a lot.
The ONLY time you must not trust advice from people of Asian is CCP from China. CCP stands for China Criminal Party.
thank you, for the advanced thinking. it feels great ....
THANK U SO MUCH FOR ALL THESE GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT MY PRIVACY
Great video Rob! Love from India🖤
Thanks for reviewing yubikey Rob.
Very informative video about browsers! Just wanted to put it out there that at first glance he reminded me of FilthyFrank, was expecting a comedic segment but this would do
I am glad to have discovered this channel. Personally, I had been doing the privacy badger thing and not being careful enough about fingerprinting. Now I am going to change everything around and use several browsers. Thanks for the tip!
Next level. So I'll see you on Odyssey.
Great advice. I'm not a techie, so this stuff takes time to sink in. Please keep this info coming.👍
*Nix users can also include lynx and/or w3m to their workflow.
Thank you! I really appreciate all your info!
History and cookies is correct. Thanks for the Update 👍😎
Man, I love you. Great job.
Excellent teaching, thank you. 🎯
Overwhelming good information
you should also separate the url from the search bar and disable suggestions in the url. the url bar should only suggest sites you have already entered
This was probably mentioned in a previous vid, but a user agent switcher for Firefox is a good tool.
Cool test. I love that. glad its hard to fingerprint me .lol Though i build my own social media icons. But I actually never thought of that.
Just as ALWAYS good information 👌
Hey Rob, thank you!
This is THE BEST explanation I’ve heard on “choosing” a good browser for privacy. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this information.
I’m curious to know your thoughts on Threema, specifically that it creates a Threema ID instead of requiring an identity attached to it which differs from the likes of Signal.
To first begin browser isolation like this do I need to uninstall and reinstall my browser so that it is fresh?
What if I use apps (not browsers) for Gmail, instagram, Amazon, Facebook? How do they factor into your suggested plan?
So much content I have to view 2 or 3 times :)
Thanks Rob 4All U Do
Great information thank you so much, I subscribed
Yes lots of love amd respect for this awesome dude .
Would this work with the ICE application in Linux? Specifically, would each instance of Firefox for each website be isolated from each other or would I still need to use a different browser for each website?
Essential knowledge! I think, or thought, I was pretty savvy. NOW, not so much.
Rob, do you have these tips written up somewhere so I can make a checklist?
My browser fingerprint on your tool is different on every page reload. Complete with cookie blocking so one fingerprint can't be linked to the next, and I'm set.
Also, I block JS not just for tracking reasons, but because I don't need code from all over the internet running on my computer - major security issue.
Subscribed! Outstanding.
To be honest, there is so much I wish to change... but it's hard... once you started using these services, it's hard to change back...
And I started a lot of this back when I was young and Facebook was new and these privacy issues weren't as much of a problem.
Thanks for the great information Rob. For someone who doesn't completely understand PieHole yet, and I have been using PrivacyBadger, AdBlock & no script (recently) on Chrome, are you saying NOT to use them on the other (let's say Firefox) browser, as they will unwittingly reveal my identity/fingerprint? I have been using these add-ons forever, and when I don't use them, or use someone else's computer, the amount of ads that I see are astounding. Is the only way around this utilizing piehole & vpn (which I currently use NordVPN, does that pass your vpn test?)?
Also, when I make this switch should I be clearing cookies/history out of chrome after the switch to "browser Isolation"?
Not sure you'll have time to help me, but thanks in advance if you can provide some insight.
can containers help the same way as virtual machines against device fingerprinting?
@Rob Braxman Tech isn't the computer fingerprinted aswell so that even if you use different browsers you can still be singled out? Thanks for the informative videos!
Thank You Rob!
love the dis info idea for Google and Facebook.
Does having Gmail/UA-cam apps on your iPhone still monitor everything else you do on your phone?
You, Sir are awesome!!!!!!
How does one "De-Google" an iPhone. I'm confused?
Great info Rob. I never thought about the "3" web browser way of exploring the internet. Another question please..
is there a way to start "clean" on a Mac without having to have "erase" the hard drive?
Thanks, mate, so many great info from such videos...
So, I've been trying to do browser iso. If I want to change the browser (e.g. if I use UA-cam on Firefox and other sites on Brave, but I want to swap), can I simply reset both browsers, or delete and reinstall, or do I need to completely reboot my computer(s)?
I love your channel !
I think we need to build a more perfect web that allows users to test their privacy techniques, tell them whether their techniques are really helping them to avoid the tracking.
Hey Rob! What do you think about a technique similar to evercookie that can fingerprint you on desktop in all browsers at the same time. Should we worry about it?
What happens if you keep a browser for for Fakebook and Google but then a different browser for normal use?
As Rob said at the end of the video, if you screwed up or had previously not used browser isolation, is asking your Internet provider to provide you a new IP address another way to ”reset” your to fingerprint/ identity?
Great man.... Love your video's
What about using various profiles in, let's say, Brave, instead of using several browsers? Would it be the same? Congratulations for your channel Rob, I enjoy it very much.
If using firefox get CanvasBlocker addon. Blocks all finger prints.
Also use facebook container plugin if you're on facebook.
Hi! Thank you for your sharing.. i use firefox with some addons and brave. But i was wondering something, in firefox even if i choose « strict model » , « block all cookies » etc,.. the cookies appears. I want do disable all cookies, first and third party cookies ! When i go on websites it’s always show the pop up screen « accept cookie » or « save my preference and accept cookies » or so (even in brave, i select « block all cookies » and it shows cookies...)
So please can you answer me? Thanks !
Wow! Thank you so much! 💝
