The MOST private browser
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- Web browsers are the gateway to the internet so it is no surprise that they often become the target of companies or hackers who want to collect information about YOU! Not only can websites can track you, but browsers themselves can also send back information about you to the browser’s parent company - In other words, your browsers become spies for the likes of Google or Microsoft and send all these information back to them to monetize! This video will compare the most popular browser options out there and help you make an informed decision best suited to you!
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 Searc...

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: ua-cam.com/video/o4sMstvwi0I/v-deo.html
opera then?
Thank you
why most todays web browser based on chromium??
Duck Duck Go is a browser on Android.
You are right, DDG is only an App, so far.
But Opera Browser is available in all OS (computer and phone), ad blocking and VPN incorporated.
Anyway, great video, I'll send it to my customers. :-)
Google circa 2000: "Don't be evil." Google in 2020: "We ARE evil."
Absolutely.
True
This sentiment has been increasingly inhabiting my thoughts over the last two decades.
If it was that easy. I would bet that all of them believe that they are “good” and “doing good”. That’s how they keep from going insane with guilt.
I disagree. They no longer believe in good or evil. So the motto would be maybe might makes right
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 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.
That’s such a great compliment, thank you!
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've always wondered, when you use a VPN, doesn't that just hide or throw off your route or location? So, when you land on a website it's still going to load a tracking cookie onto your computer. If you leave that site and go to another, won't it still register the website you went to, and how long you stayed there, regardless of whether your VPN took you ten times around the globe to get there? Using a VPN can allow a person access to websites they might not be able to normally access, due to appearing to be somewhere you're not, but they don't do anything about the tracking cookie problem do they?
IP numbers are one of hundreds of ways of tracking people. Using a VPN is the equivalent to going by taxi instead of train to a restaurant, they still know it's you, just not how you got there.
VPNs sift through and sell your personal data. WeVPN used to repurpose customers systems to route traffic to sites too, to avoid blocking. Many VPNs do this if you install their software, you become an extra exit point. They claim not to log, but do for billing and user access, so do server farms as required by UK Law. The VPN that will only accept cards or PayPal is creating profiles, verified ones, they sell for more. You're paying them to sift through your data and sell it.
They're in law less countries too, so no chance of protecting yourself or holding them to account.
People using VPNs are scam victims. Easily fooled and manipulated, not too bright...
Police run VPNs too, just to watch traffic. Any company you see vanish after a year or two was police, I found one server in the same IP range as police in the North of the UK used, then located it to the city of Chester. It was inside a police station. I'm not sure why WeVPN didn't know. Either they did and shut down, or the whole thing was a scam.
You can NOT trust a company with all your data.
VPN doesn't protect your privacy, it just spoofs your location and nothing else.

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.
Thanks for the tip. I've been using FF for over 10 years.
I've never heard of Multi-Account Containers.
I need to brush up on the latest tech.
If everybody blocked sites demanding cookies companies would stop demanding them as a prerequisite. I block cookies and location tracking.
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.
Therefore Firefox has addons.
Nice information Naomi. Glasses and outfit matching perfectly also by the way.
Thanks for watching!
I use Opera as my default browser and firefox as an alternate. Opera has an inbuilt Ad blocker and VPN. Kindly share your thoughts on it. Respects from India.
The content of your video was informative and clearly presented, but your comment section is pretty good, too. Thank you!
Bonjour Naomi. Nice channel. I would have a suggestion : as you made several vidéos on security and privacy, it might me interesting to do one that compile all the software to use (OS, browser, email, tchat, etc.) And the right habits to adopt in order to be protected. Thanks for your work.
Great idea!
@@NaomiBrockwellTV yes...did you ever get a chance to do this?
Cancel facebook.
Fuck facebook
Done. It took six months though.
What is this cancellation shit , just get rid of it 😅 it's just so easy
@@paulyjones3966 Yes its easy for one to delete but FB will delete it finally six months after.
Brave is currently the way to go. However an important feature of brave is not mentioned. Brave in incognito mode, allows for use of tor network for browsing. So, one need not use the tor browser to get the tor network benefits. I find this feature to make Brave the most perfect choice at the moment.
Oh and liked + subscribed, Naomi your content is awesome, just discovered today.
Opera is not mentioned, but Opera is now owned by a Chinese company, so it is a nonstarter.
Life was better before the internet existed 😑
Stop using it then...
Absofuckinglutely
Nice usage of the "Kids' Guide to the Internet" clip. 😆
Supp, I've been watching your videos for 2 years now. Do you have a second channel?
Going surfin on the internet 🎼🎹
BRAVE stole my BAT.
Didn't Firefox agree with Google a couple of years ago, to block certain sites (censor) at browser level?
If I remember correctly, that is why its founder left Firefox and started Brave.
Oh interesting, will look into that!
@@sensualhypnotherapy default search engine can be changed very easily like it's right there on the options.
@@sensualhypnotherapy That's not a problem really. Everyone who gives a brick about privacy or security changes the default settings when setting up any software
it is important to remember: information is normally stolen from the endpoints: either from your computer -- or from your correspondent's computer.
this brings us to s second key: you need to use a secure operating system,-- Linux/Mint Manjaro ...
And further: each browser is built using software obtained from our supply chain..... the java interpreter..... the HTML rendering engine,....
We've not touched on the so called "Intel Management Engine"
You might use 2 computers and establish an air-gap: System 1 for editing/encrypting/decrypting; System 2 for transmit and receive. Use CDs to transport data rather than USB devices......
Tinfoil hats on sale later today.
That aside, there's much to think about
Keep up the good work, Naomi

@@NaomiBrockwellTV I did experiment briefly with a program called "firejail". this would launch the firefox (or other program ) in its own named space and present additional difficulty for any defective components that might have managed to incorporate themselves into the browser's executable code. I gave up on it befgore I figured out how to exfiltrate data I did want out of the 'named space' ...
one of the troubles we've been facing now for some time is that a number of the document formats that are popular now need to be treated as executable programs, ...
Does that tinfoil hat come in the classic "collander' design?😀
With every rabbit hole I explore and every dot I connect, I add another rhinestone to my tin foil tiara 😁
Firefox can be modified a lot more than Chrome, using about:config you can enable many extra privacy features (like resistFingerprinting). However, it's arguable whether this makes your browser more unique, despite randomizing fingerprinting results constantly. It can also break websites, like UA-cam stats displaying dropped frames when it's actually fine.
Why can't someone make a ultra private browser. It could be like brave but with better fingerprinting protection brave will spoof some variables but you can still be fingerprinted through other things. So why not just spoof everything so every time you open a new tab it will randomize the information you send
At 1st I used Firefox but there are many websites and apps that Firefox doesn't support. Most of the time (at least on my laptop) I use Safari which protects from many trackers, but they all have their breaches. FB won't allow me to use video on Safari, forced to use Google. & Google tries to force itself to be sole browser, but I don't bite. I only use when forced
Also, Naomi, I am disabled and hardly ever leave my house. I buy stuff from Walmart or Amazon to get it delivered to me, so that's my life. Is musi worth making the change because I have no other internet. I am thankful for a good girl who puts out the truth. And when I see santa I'll put in a good word for you
If you do a lot of online shopping, using a masked credit card, vpn, email aliases, voip numbers, and putting a different name on the deliveries are all good steps. We have videos on each, I'd start with a vpn, something like mullvad or proton is a great first step.
Thank you for this comparison. I’m ditching chrome for brave, firefox and tor.
That’s awesome!!
Thank you UA-cam for bringing me here. Subbed, and thanks for the fantastic run down.
Welcome!!
This channel is underrated
You make some of the best content on the internet... I wish more people would listen... Keep doing the good work that you do!!
That's so kind of you to say!
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.
Yeah, Google Chrome is horrible. I switched from Chrome to Opera GX, But not for gaming I just like all the ways to customize opera. And Chromebooks make me throw up. I'm a windows guy, But i'd rather use a Macbook for 5 months than a chromebook.
@@Warp3326 Opera is owned by a Chinese company. If you like Opera, use Vilvadi, from the original Opera maker
@@johnbradshaw3001 ok, ill try it out
Good job, Naomi! I already know the most of the things in the video, but still found it super interesting!
Thank you Naomi. Your videos are always helpful
Really glad to hear it!
When the difficulty of protecting yourself outweighs the value of being online it's time to throw the thing into the pool.
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.
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.
I enjoyed your presentation. I use Firefox in Linux and am exploring TOR and TAILS
Great video, subbed. Concise, clear, and well presented.
💛🙏
I personally have used the Opera browser it has ad blocking and a VPN facility
What about the Vivaldi browser? How does it compare with Brave?
Most important, a browser is and can only be as secure as the user makes it. Even Tor will not protect you if you sign in to accounts and do not know how to use it correctly. It does depend on how much privacy you need or prefer or want. All browsers do offer some level of privacy if used correctly and if you do take the time to configure it correctly. Ultimately it would be best to not use one browser for all your stuff but rather split different things between different browsers and even different search engines to prevent any one of them from getting a full picture of who you are or what you do. Btw, Tor is capable of blocking JavaScript, but by default, it will not block much. Most people will be turned off immediately if they open a website and the media doesn't load. Both Brave and Tor do by default use DuckDuckGo as the search engine. There is another option, but I haven't checked it out yet, but that is a different level of privacy as that requires running a privacy-focused Linux distribution Known as Kodachi. In effect, it uses a VPN and the Tor network and does come with several plugins.
yeah decentralized networks is the only way to go, TOR is notoriously known to be super unsafe place to share any kind of info, with the internet heading more and more towards decentralization, what's need is a secure decen network
@@gretchenmcdougal1243 oh then I saw a decentralised search engine. Is that good?
Naomi is the ambassador of greatness.

We can watch TV, play our radios with antennas with no interference, so we need private antennas with no fear of a "party" line interference, simple as that.
Simple straight forward comparison.
🙏
I missed the Vivaldi as an option. You might want to include it the next time. Otherwise a great video like that someone is talking about those topics!
Yeah I didn’t go much into the smaller options but from what I’ve heard Vivaldi is a great alternative
@@NaomiBrockwellTV Vivaldi is the only one I trust, coupled with DuckDuckGo.
@@NaomiBrockwellTV I'm another one who swears by Vilvadi (more so now that it is blocking FLoC by default)
@@ozrob8726 Vivaldi is based on Google Chromium, so i wouldn't trust Vivaldi that much.
Honestly, I tried both Brave and Edge, but don't like how the UIs of both feel too much like Google Chrome with its lack of UI customisability options in comparison to Pale Moon and Firefox, my preferred Web browsers.
I really wish there was a way to add Brave features to Vivaldi, as I see the latter as being the Pale Moon of Chromium-based Web browsers.
And they are full of bugs, something always won't work...
@@pumaweek169 Which one (ones) are full of bugs, Brave and Edge and/or Vivaldi?
I love Brave Fiefox and Tor. I even use SeaMonkey.
Good analysis, tho you MIGHT have hammered a few of the other 'less than private' browsers out there...as a public service of course:)

Stay away from anything Google if you don't want to be spied on or have big brother stalking you. Google shares data with US government to target those not falling in line with their ideology.
@@jgjg3848 do you think brave is working with Google?
You have really opened my eyes!!! This was information that I didn't know. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Brave is loaded with bloat beyond belief. If they released a version that didn't have the BAT and wallet system, it would have been tolerable...
Tor Browser is a great alternative, but like you mentioned already it's very slow.
I think it would be worth talking about the forks of firefox. I've found Librewolf to be the most practical, but also secure one for me. It comes with UBlockOrigin already setup, with an easy guide on how to make it the highest (but most annoying) level of security. With a dozen or so extra extensions it's pretty good.
Obviously not available on ios and I'm guessing android though. Firefox privacy seems pretty good though on the phone.
Big fan of Librewolf as well.
As someone who has been passionate about privacy since I was in Middle School, channels like this are a shining light in the darkness that is technocratic overreach.
For guys with a strong crush on redheads (like me of course) watching naomi everyday is a blessing
But here i'm for the content (as well as for naomi of course)
Very great video naomi by the way darling
Thanks
I know when to use TOR and when to use FF so the tracking that happens in FF doesn't bother me at all. IMO, griping about FF tracking is a tempest in a teapot.

Beware of the Cookie Monster.
Thanks. I watched your video with Firefox.
I use an ancient (16 years old) Mac and Brave doesn't work. Is there an alternative?
I used Opera for a few years in the early 2000s until they got mixed up Chrome. They were great before that, though.
Where does Vivaldi fit into this list? I converted one of my Windows laptops to Linux, and installed Vivaldi, and I like it, but don't know if it's better for security than Firefox, which I use everywhere else.
Will cover!
How about opera?
brave is great but I was expecting vivaldi to be included
@Blaze A so is vivaldi, but vivaldi is by far the best chromium browser imo
@Blaze A *chromium-based. Know the difference.
Vivaldi is closed source, so you can't see what's actually happening in the background.
@@nightthemoon8481 it’s hella slow.
@@michaozga7825 last time i did some speed tests it was the 2nd fastest chromium browser
what about Vivaldi?
A fabulous informative video. Spot on. 👍The first thing I do when I install windows is install Firefox and fully remove Edge browser. I was shocked at how much info Edge was sending back to Microsoft
Does using uninstall for the Edge browser remove everything?
One thing I do not like about Firefox is, they have a “delete cookies when browser closed” (or words to that effect), however, there are apparently other settings that can abrogate this selection so that it is meaningless. I do not like having to spend 15 or 30 minutes more, trying to discern what settings I need to select to have the cookies deleted upon closing the browser. If the browser has a button, Firefox should honor it.
queen! Love the info. Always insightful
Thanks so much!
I like to use EFF's Cover Your Tracks to compare the Ad Blocking, Tracking, and Fingerprinting protection of browsers. Brave is the only browser that passes.... Brave's Randomized Fingerprint is key to its' success. Users really need tools that allow them to test on their own and relieve them of dependence upon others.
Perhaps you can include Vivaldi in a future video. Thanks.
I wonder how the Vivaldi browser ranks? I have been playing around with that one.
What do you think of Opera?
You forgot Vivaldi. Made by the original developers of opera. It's really pretty good, just don't enable e-mail yet. Still beta.
When i have owned PS4 slim,i have tryed to get Firefox browser.But it was impossible to do it,now when i have PS4 pro,i still don't know will it work.The Google is just messing with us,and it's not fun,or legal.

On mobile i use Opera. On my computers i use Firefox. When i started to use internet in the late 90's, i used IE, ofc. Then, when other browsers came, it was among the first thing to disable/uninstall. I always avoided Chrome, not only for privacy and functionality issues, but because it looks horrible and i don't have the patience to constantly tune it. I have never used nor i will ever use Edge.
I liked using Brave but it was not fully compatible with some sites. Now I like using Opera.

Love your "rocket"!
wait we arnt using netscape anymore?
You can tell this vid is old even though it's just one year as I write this. Pretty much Every Single thing Firefox does these days is to benefit themselves and anti user. Forced updates, built in ads, disabling default browser check, trying to inside their own suggestions into your searches, running studies by default. Seriously they have COMPLETELY turned their backs on their core users.
Would you recommend a gecko browser?
Happy to see Naomi is one of the people that here for good.

Some security sites suggest using different browsers for different activities. Such as use chrome for everything google and only that, and Firefox for say personal stuff and something else for business stuff, however you want to define it.
You should update this video to include reviews of the 2022 DuckDuckGo browser and the Beta iCloud Private Relay paid service from Apple. I find both of them intriguing and usable. They provide some interesting new features that not even TOR provides.
Firefox has another feature, 'Private Browsing', to keep other users of your computer from following your history.
I use Waterfox and Brave. Don't miss a thing.
