    Enjoy exploring! Hope you find it to be a good experience

    Eventually you might find that you’re coming back to the PrivacyGuides.org page, that’s what most people recommend these days as a starting point for recommended tools. There are a lot of companies out there advertising privacy and security without actually PROVIDING privacy and security. It’s becoming a new buzzword

    https://www.privacyguides.org/en/

    You don’t have to take my word for it though, just keep exploring and learning :)

        The specific breakdown was as follows

        We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box, Firefox for casual internet browsers looking for a good alternative to Google Chrome, and Brave if you need Chromium browser compatibility.

        So I think they only recommend Brave for those that need Chromium

        For mobile browsers, I don’t quite understand the differences between each. I personally use Mull when I need it, but Brave might be better on Mobile still?

          I’ve used Mull before and I noticed that even with a basic configuration, it is very easily fingerprintable. That’s the only reason I use Brave Browser on mobile as of now - it seems to be better at resisting fingerprinting. There’s the whole Chromium monopoly debate, and I tend to allign more with Firefox and its many forks, but Brave just seems to offer better privacy in this scenario. Correct me if I’m wrong.
