Best browser that provides anonymity online
Only TOR or IP2 or other decentralised browsers can provide you anonymity… No other browser can… The con of using them is they are dead slow (atleast to me).
If you need privacy, then librewolf and mulvad are the best.
Determine your threat model. Complete anonymity is close to impossible if the adversary has unlimited funds, motivation and expertise to specifically target you, but it takes relatively little to fly under the radar of the passive, low effort, maximum yield corporate fishing expeditions where they just vacuum up the loose data people give out freely. Which is what most corporate mass surveillance is.
Firefox with Ublock Origin and not signing onto things with your google, microsoft, facebook etc accounts(companies known for snooping) and separating your personal accounts with sensitive information from the rest will alone take you like 80% there, and requires very little compromise from the user.
If you are doing slightly naughty things like sailing the seven seas like the rascal you are, then slap a reputable VPN(like Mullvad or Proton) on top of all that, to make you not worth the effort for the copyright extortion rackets to bother with. These options provide you enough security without compromising on usability, assuming you aren’t doing anything governments would care enough to single you out for.
But privacy/anonymity has some massive diminishing returns similar to when one approaches the speed of light where getting the final few percentages of additional security will be more difficult than it was to go from 0% to 90%, and the final decimals of 99. will be by orders of magnitude more difficult, bordering on impossible in practice.
Tor and Mullvad are the most private, but not really for everyday use.
Librewolf has similar privacy, but is much more usable for everyday use. Been using it for at least 1 year and works great.
What about mull browser, is it good?
Any collection of extensions for Firefox/Chrome that are worth installing for every day browsing (besides uBlock of course!)?
I think Safari with DuckDuckGo
Mull will meet your needs.
Brave is another good option.
High privacy standards with a good UX: Firefox, Mullvad, Brave (Always combine them with a VPN)
Highest privacy standards but bad UX: TOR
Safari with iCloud Private Relay
use Firefox with extensions
Mullvad Browser can also provide anonymity, but that’s the only one other than Tor/I2P, and the reasoning is that Mullvad Browser is derived from the Tor browser, but without the Tor protocol. The idea is that every user using Mullvad Browser looks the exact same to websites and it would be impossible to pick out an individual user in that way
+1 for Tor as anonymity.
Very good privacy browser, but not anonymous
nope,you will be fingerprinted
get librewolf and add noscript
SearXNG is a search engine
No, if you don’t use their mulvad vpn, you are not anonymous. Mulvad is basically a librewolf browser little tweaked to their taste… Basically they both are same except that you get mulvad vpn integrated which increases privacy a lot and anonymity if you use their vpn. Infact, there are more librewolf users than mulvad, you van blend in with librewolf users more easily because most of the librewolf users are proton users, they use proton vpn, if you use proton vpn too, then you are pseudo anonymous which is far better than a regular user… Complete anonymity is very difficult for a regular user.
If you want to be completely anonymous, you should own a second hand device that is brought through cash without revealing your identity. Then use an privacy respecting operating system unlike stock OS. Then, connect to a public wifi network and use a tor without a VPN or with vpn specially being mulvad or ivpn. Nothing else is trustworthy vpn not even protonvpn. Last but not least your browsing should not contain any of your habits like visiting a bank account or a social media account or giving card details to a website etc that reveals your identity.
Is this apply for mull browser on android phone?
The browser is designed to give ever user the same fingerprint, so the more users there are, the harder it is to identify individuals
In terms of privacy, yes but not anonymity.
