<h1>Comparison between web browsers</h1>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This purpose of this article is not to rate each web browser in a
|
||||
vacuum, like articles on this website that focus on one specific web
|
||||
browser, but rather to compare all of the web browsers that have been
|
||||
rated on this website against each other. This is a ranking that is
|
||||
based on how much Privacy a browser offers by default, as well as, how
|
||||
much privacy can be gained by configuring it.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<h2><span class="lime">Top Tier — Best Privacy</span></h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These are all browsers that require a minimal amount of configuration
|
||||
and can achieve the required level of privacy needed to browse the
|
||||
modern web- compatibility with a comprehensive suite of
|
||||
content-blocking extensions that can block spyware providers correctly
|
||||
and fully. Iridium and Pale Moon both are configured in a way that
|
||||
leaks user information and thus require additional configuration.

<h2><span class="lime">High Tier — Good Privacy</span></h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These browsers do not have privacy issues, but they also do not have
|
||||
enough privacy features to make it to the highest tier. These browsers
|
||||
both have simple ad-blockers, and do not have any privacy issues,
|
||||
however, these tools are not as good as the comprehensive privacy
|
||||
tools that Top Tier browsers offer.

<h2><span class="yellow">Mid Tier — Ok Privacy</span></h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These browsers do not have any big privacy flaws, but they also do not
|
||||
have sufficient privacy protections. Qutebrowser has a very basic
|
||||
adblocker in it. Both browsers don't have access to extensions either.
|
||||
So, it's just not enough to be able to browse the modern web
|
||||
privately, despite the developers not putting spyware into their
|
||||
browsers.

<h2><span class="orange">Low Tier — Poor Privacy</span></h2>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
These browsers do not protect your privacy, but they are not in the
|
||||
lowest tier since they still have something to offer, although, they
|
||||
should not be used in general. Vivaldi does not let you disable all of
|
||||
the spyware features, Brave whitelists trackers and has forced
|
||||
updates, and Firefox and Waterfox are loaded with spyware, to the
|
||||
point where configuring them is so
|
||||
<a href="https://github.com/intika/Librefox">non-trivial</a> that you
|
||||
might as well use a version of Firefox that respects your privacy
|
||||
<b>by default</b>, rather than diving into the uncertainty of digging
|
||||
out all of the spyware features (and repeating the process every time
|
||||
the browser is updated). It's always going to be better to pick a
|
||||
browser higher on this list.

<p>

These browsers are unashamedly designed to collect as much information
|
||||
about the user as possible (all are rated EXTREMELY HIGH by the site).
|
||||
Only SRWare Iron has it's source code available, and all the
|
||||
developers have mistreated their users (complete disregard for privacy
|
||||
and / or false advertising) for a long time. These browsers are
|
||||
actively hostile against their users and thus should not be used at

all.

<h4>Further Reading:</h4>

<ol>
|

<p>
|
||||
This isn't the only guide on what web browser to pick, with an
|
||||
emphasis on privacy, to exist, and many other people, with their
|
||||
own knowledge and prespectives, have written their own guides. It
|
||||
would be a waste to only read one guide to make your decision, so,
|
||||
you should probably read a few more, these are some good ones.
