Technically speaking, every internet browser requires one key component called “Rendering Engine”. Let’s look into each of these browsers and the reasons why I decided to eliminate them. Then, I applied the elimination technique based on my selection criteria to eliminate each browser one-by-one until I was left with only one. I could only find the following list of browsers, which I wanted to research further.
The good thing was that there are not too many options out there. The first thing I did is search for the privacy-focused browsers for Desktops & MacBooks (I actually use both for different purposes). Microsoft Windows Desktop, Macbook, Android phone, and iPhone. on the cloud, so that I can have the same experience across platforms and devices e.g.
Sync: Must-have features, where I should be able to sync bookmarks, extensions, passwords, etc. Features: More or the less the same list of features, which I use on a day-to-day basis. User Experience: I wanted to have the exact same user experience (well, almost) without any need of learning to operate the new browser from scratch. When it comes to privacy, the only expectation you can have from the browser of your choice is that the browser itself should not track you. Privacy: This was the main reason for this exercise, right? So, it was the topmost priority for me. My research was based on the following criteria to choose the best browser for my needs: I started with changing my internet browser, Google Chrome, my first window to the world of the internet. If you are still in doubt, find out why you should stop using Google Chrome browser.Īs they say, if you are lost in forest, you don’t know how to find your way out, but you at least know your next step, take it. It is almost next to impossible for a common person to even imagine the dark side of the internet. I was okay to share personal things about my life at my will, but I was being paranoid after knowing how much information is collected about me while I’m connected to the digital world without my knowledge. But I wanted to try whatever I could to protect myself and my identity online. I knew by now that being anonymous on the internet is next to impossible. Restarting your entire digital life, creating a fresh identity, and being anonymous (almost) was a challenge for me initially. Not that I was completely blind to it, but they were definitely a trigger to re-evaluate how I consume information on the internet.īecause I was (I still am) in the process of studying privacy issues and respective solutions as a common person, I was always confused about where to start from. 
I was pretty much shaken up after watching documentaries such as ‘ The Social dilemma‘ and ‘ The Great Hack‘.
