Privacy might be better than Chrome but security for those browsers is a complete joke (IMO). Not good.īut for the 'un-Googled' versions you list the situation is even worse because they're all based on outdated versions of Chrome. So the chromium package is outdated and riddled with potential security holes.

Google don't provide an LTS version (unlike Mozilla) and Debian just can't keep up with the steady stream of vulnerabilities: But I do agree that the chomium package in the repositories is in a pretty poor state. Why, that would be the data-mining Chrome, of course! Google has been caught many times stealing data from K-12 students in violation of federal law and each time it promises to never do it again.ĭebian does not supply Chrome, and they never will. Mirror mirror on the wall, of all the Debian-supplied browsers, which is the shittiest of them all? So if you want a non-Tor privacy browser, add the brave repo and install brave and set your anti-fingerprinting setting to 'strict' and your anti-tracking level to 'strict' in the settings. Once again, the recent scholarly research and the testing is pretty much all in agreement. The scholarly research into that question is pretty much unanimous.

However, from a purely technical perspective, Tor Browser is far and away the vastly superior privacy browsing experience in terms of being nearly impossible to track via fingerprinting.

But if you find a good VPN that actually keeps its promises, you could probably pull it off. Tor over VPN is one method that might work for you, although most of the VPN's appear to be compromised as well. Good luck keeping secrets from them due to your choice of web browsers. That would be the NSA, who already has backdoors into your email, your cell phone, your ISP, your DNS provider, your router, your security cameras, your car, your doorbell, your thermostat, and your refrigerator. For the unscrupulous owners of exit nodes.
