Considering that a lot of people still use Chrome I think just using Firefox is a great start.
But yeah there is always nitpicking to do when it comes to security. No one is ever truly secure.
- vorticalbox 8y agoI use the brave browser which is based on chromium, blocks ads, trackers, has tor private tabs and soon will pay you for seeing ads which you can then use pay BAT to the websites you want to support. All this without breaking user privacy.
- h1d 8y agoHow do you track that each update hasn't turned evil?
- chazhaz 8y agoI mean, you don't. You have to trust the maintainers of the software you use, to a certain degree, or spend a majority of your time auditing the software you use. That being said, Brave is pretty upfront about the security of their software. They've paid $25k in bug/security bounties so far and their browser is open source. So if an update turns evil, it stands to reason that someone is going to notice.
- auslander 8y ago> I use the brave browser which is based on chromium ... Two points against it: 1. You stand out from the crowd with this User-Agent, easy to fingerprint you. 2. Chromium is Google (Ad company) software, like Android. Un-googling it may not be complete or full. Safest way is not using any Google software.
