The article discusses browser safety, emphasizing that users may not be well-protected by their current browsers like Chrome or Firefox. It introduces the Electronic Frontier Foundation's Cover Your Tracks tool, which assesses browser defense against web trackers. The tool provides insights into a browser's privacy capabilities and suggests potential changes if protection is inadequate. The author shares personal experience switching from Zen Browser, which offered moderate protection, to Opera, which provided stronger defenses against tracking, highlighting the broader implications of browser choice on online privacy.
I found the most private and secure way to browse the web - and it isn't incognito mode.
The EFF created Cover Your Tracks. It tests your browser to see how trackers view your browser.
The tests indicate gaps in protection against Web tracking, prompting users to consider switching browsers or adding plugins.
My default has been Zen Browser... However, Zen Browser fell under the 'some protection' category. On the other hand, Opera fell under 'strong protection'.
