Adam Clark Estes for Vox has an article titled: You deserve a better browser than Google Chrome.

Which got me thinking: There are a lot of Google services that are hard to quit, especially Google’s ubiquitous search and, if you’re not an iPhone person, Android phones as your default option. But Chrome? It’s historically bad at privacy, and it’s hardly the best browser.

The article is a bit more about the federal government’s two long overdue antitrust suits against Google.

I’d recommend to anyone to abandon Google Chrome as their primary browser for essentially anything else. Google has no interest in your activity on the Internet being private to them or their advertising customers.

I’ve been tinkering around with some of the Firefox-based privacy oriented browsers, and I’m not really sure if any of them are any better than just using Firefox and tossing in a couple extra privacy based extensions. There are many guides for increasing Firefox’s default privacy, but I’ve found avoidthehack.com’s guide to be both thorough and give a clear explanation as to why any individual setting may or may not be set.
