Browser Advice

Recommended Posts

Here's an article that talks about some different browsers. I'm like you- I avoid Chrome (and gmail) like the plague. (I know, I'm just kidding myself, blah blah blah but we all do what lets us sleep at night. :P) If Google wants to know all about me they have to ask Amazon, lol. They are the ones that really know everything about me!

 

I was going to say Safari but I am seeing that it just runs on Macs now. Maybe something in this will help.

I avoid Chrome for the same reason. If they want to find out about me, they will have to work at it a bit. I'm not going to make it easier for them.

 

I'll take a look at the link later this morning when I am more wide awake. :LOL:

 

i don't know what they did to Opera but they ruined it. I've been using Firefox, but it's too slow and I just don't care for it.

 

Windows is always trying to get me to use Chrome and, truthfully, it does look like it would be the most practical and easiest browser, but I remember from when it first came out reading articles warning people not to use it.

I use Chrome. The reality is your browsing is an open book for any browser.

 

If Chrome can tell me where to find better pornsites, then I consider that a bonus. :P

Been using Chrome for years. It's the fastest most reliable browser I've ever had. Firefox is fair but bulky. Safari has too many glitches. IE isn't even worth mentioning.

Chrome for me...it's possible to set it so data mining is minimised, but as others have said, all browsers do this to an extent.

 

I refuse to use any Apple software as I hate the way they try to lock you into their shitty products..my wife uses an ipad but I hate it.

Wat browser is, in your opinion, the easiest, safest and best?

 

I've been using Firefox and I don't like it.

 

I don't like the way they changed Opera.

 

Don't want to use Chrome.

 

Oh dear me ... :LOL: ... that should be "what" not "wat". :LOL: :lol: :LOL:

I would do that too - set Chrome so the data mining is minimized - but I don't know how to do that.

The best way is just not to sign in to chrome/google etc when prompted.

I use Chrome with quite a few plug-ins to increase security and stop ads. I've tried all the major ones and came back to Chrome.

 

Which plug-ins do you use?

 

I use Do Not Disturb which does stuff like block data mining. I also have AdBlock Plus, DuckDuckGo which is a search engine that doesn't track your searches, and HTTPS Everywhere.

How do you get them? Just go to the websites and load them?

I also forgot Cupcake which enables my browser to be a thru point for someone accessing Tor. All it does it act as a another entry place but only the end IP will show up if someone checks. That's probably not too clear but I'm not exactly sure how to explain it.

I have Tor but rarely use it. Only for deep web, clandestine spy stuff.
