While it’s important to choose a browser that has lots of great privacy features, it’s also crucial to evaluate how easy it is to achieve the most private settings. Let me first give you my definition of “best”. So choosing a private browser is easy: anything but Google Chrome. It’s a direct conflict of interest to privacy. Google’s whole business model depends on data collection and tracking. Google is an ad company – 80-90% of their revenue is from advertising. But there are stark differences in how browser makers approach data collection and prevention of tracking. Most browsers are fast enough and come with plenty of great usability features. To me, the real differentiator with modern browsers is privacy. While we can use number of bugs as a metric, we have to temper that by realizing that the most popular browser will be targeted most by hackers and give credit Google for rapidly responding when the inevitable bugs are found.
And Chrome has had some really bad security issues over the last year. Before we get into privacy, I do want to say that security is important in a web browser.
