As you will see with the examples of some of the browsers below even developers some times compromise user privacy perhaps without even thinking about it.

Both Microsoft Windows and macOS are highly controversial and completely untrustworthy operating systems.Īlso please note that just because the developers of a browser are promising that their browser is privacy-respecting doesn't mean that you can trust the information. I will also not be looking at browsers that only work on Microsoft Windows or macOS, even if they are Open Source. With the exception of Librewolf and the Tor Browser, none of the other browsers does anything relevant to protect you against fingerprinting. Please note that I have not considered each browsers resistance to fingerprinting in this article as that is something you can tweak yourself in various ways. I know several other browsers exist, but if they are not mentioned on this list I have either not had a change to investigate them, they are closed source and completely irrelevant (such as Microsoft Edge or Opera), or they are not actively maintained, or they cannot perhaps be trusted for some reason or another. I will try to keep this article updated with relevant information as much as possible.

Some browsers either directly violate users by collecting telemetric data without consent, or you have to opt-out rather than opt-in, or they bounce around the Internet visiting places in the background without you knowing (using dns-prefetch or automatic updates etc.), using third party services that operates with a privacy policy you either cannot trust, or that are directly violating your privacy, or they have integrated third party software that do some of these things. What I am addressing in this article are browsers that are either promoted as "privacy-respecting" by the developers, or in general are considered to be so (mostly due to misunderstanding or misinformation), while it is very clear they are not. Naturally you need to be able to use the browser on the Internet and as such you will always leave some kind of trail behind, and this article is not about how you can hide your tracks. Not only can it be difficult to actually define privacy, but it also requires a balance between freedom of choice by the users, security and usability. Privacy as a subject regarding the usage of services on the Internet is a very difficult subject to deal with. It is also about the lack of user freedom, as in the choice to enable or disable features, such as automatic updates, or forced usage of third party services, or software that the user generally is unaware of or don't have a say about. This article isn't specifically about privacy issues only, it's about promises that are being broken, which might be about privacy. Sometimes prices on products are changed on the same website, depending on tracking information, and two people may view the exact same product on the exact same website yet be presented with very different prices. Many companies, such as Google, track which websites people visit and then use the information, for instance by sending advertising based on one's web browsing history. Privacy on the Internet is important because privacy risks range from the gathering of statistics on users to more malicious acts such as the spreading of spyware and the exploitation of various forms of bugs (software faults). | about | faq | resources | contact | rss Choose your browser carefully
