You might want to check out LibreWolf or Mullvad Browser if you'd like a good, more privacy focused version of Firefox. For Chome based browsers, Ungoogled Chromium might be worth a look, though I haven't used it much myself.Firefox. I initially switched from Chrome to this because of privacy concerns but they're all as bad as each other. Now I just continue to use it because it's what I've been using for the better part of a decade.
At this point my privacy is lost (regardless of the browser) by using youtube, gmail, amazon and etc. Either everything is linked to me through a credit card or phone number and with the coming of AI it will be easier than ever to access and coalesce our individual/unique data. The age of internet anonymity died when the social media websites instead of fading into obscurity like was normal; somehow hung on and turned the internet from the wild west into a giant pool of data attached to real-world identities.You might want to check out LibreWolf or Mullvad Browser if you'd like a good, more privacy focused version of Firefox.

I would agree with everything minus the no Android and the VPN part. You only need a VPN if you are not on your home ethernet network and as for the Android system, that rules out all my devices so I respect your point, but I can't entirely agree with it. Basic Internet security 101 is just being smart about what you do on the Internet and not doing stupid dumb things.Yeah, a good browser is only part of keeping a reasonable level of privacy. You also need a trustworthy VPN, not to mention OS (no Android/iOS/Windows/etc.) and to avoid using accounts with most major companies like the ones you mentioned. Fortunately there are always alternative options, if you're willing. It's not easy, but also not as impossible as most people seem to think.
I get that about the ISP spying on you. However I find that most websites do not work with a VPN being used as of late.True, but I was talking about privacy, not security. A VPN is necessary if you want to keep your ISP from spying on you. But yeah, if you're deep in the Android (or Apple) ecosystem leaving it isn't easy.
I haven't really had any such trouble myself. Maybe it depends on which VPN it is.I get that about the ISP spying on you. However I find that most websites do not work with a VPN being used as of late.
The answer to this problem is crypto, I think. Blockchain transactions are final and wallet addresses are largely anonymous, just like cash transactions in real life. Part of the reason for this huge data pool is the need to secure fiat online transactions and keep them away from hackers, thus requiring more and more layers of personal data to secure the transaction and to ensure that I made it instead of a malicious actor.At this point my privacy is lost (regardless of the browser) by using youtube, gmail, amazon and etc. Either everything is linked to me through a credit card or phone number and with the coming of AI it will be easier than ever to access and coalesce our individual/unique data.
