Or even better, a fork of Firefox which disable all that telemetry crap and bundle with uBlock Origin : LibreWolf.

"Firefox is bad because I got a virus one time and Firefox was my default browser therefore Firefox gave my computer a virus"- my brother
He's the virus because he bought the computer
Wait, people hate Firefox? Why??
I've tried a bunch of time but I feel going back to Chrome.
I'm currently trying or Oprah for the first time.
Firefox rules, people need to smarten up. Hell, Firefox on Android has an Adblock extension. Firefox is what's up.
Appearently brave is the most privacy focused browser. At least according to this paper from 3y ago.

Edit: guys I know that Brave is not the best browser and I wouldn't recommend it, but I haven't seen studies or in depth articles about technical details of privacy concerns.
And I'm not being sarcastic, I wanna see them so I can make a more informed opinion.
how exactly does chrome not respect my privacy?
and i don't just mean "because it's google and google is an ad company". what specifically is it sending to some internet server that firefox doesn't? both the firefox and address bars send what you type into them to a search provider. as near as i can tell, firefox's committment to privacy is to say "we protect your privacy" while doing all the same stuff that chrome does.
Brave + privacyBadger is about the best you can do. If you turn all the features on it anonymizes your plugins and screen res returns enough that you can't be identified by a unique configuration.
It supports TOR for private browsing natively.
I don't trust them more than Mozilla, but the do a better job at keeping my browsing habits out out the hands of my ISP and the sites I visit.
