Yeah, who thought that MS would ever have a good browser?To its/their credit: MS Edge didn't pester me with ads on sites that now are, thanks to Chrome (even with AdBlock Plus).

Yes, and my experience so far is good. Plus, I avoid the evil tentacles of Google.Well the current Edge browser is based upon Chrome.
Because if there business model...I can't understand why anyone would not use Brave
I use Brave when I run across the sites with some issue working with Firefox. Often medical/insurance sites in my particular experience. Not as common an issue with Firefox as once was the case. I may switch to Vivaldi for this, but I don't mind what Brave does anyway.Because if there business model...
Customizable user.js template by Arkenfox is perhaps the best one I found. All configurable Firefox parameters explained, including couple of hidden ones.I use fire Firefox and turned off as much as I could on Windows after reading a few guides on CNET and others.

Kinda funny [<< hilarious type] that we worry about the browsers sniffing us out but the 'tracking' problems start with the OperatingSystem...and don't you dare call it "telemetry"!Yeah, who thought that MS would ever have a good browser?
The next 'silent' elephant has got to be ... NOT google and/or NOT internet trackers ... but your ISP.imo >> This is a good start.
Brave is really only effective if you run behind a VPN.Brave here as well (Android phone and MacBook).
You mean like the other ideas aren't shabby to begin with?Why not suggest VPN use?
Rather like my thinking. Tor is over the top for normal use. A VPN may but a bit much, but only a bit. Of course many companies make employees use them working from home.You mean like the other ideas aren't shabby to begin with?
The recommendation of VPN use is like a 6dB volume increase and borders on paranoia.
I rolled my eyes when someone suggested tor usage but I would not make fun of anyone that makes use of a VPN, when necessary [self included].
This is only done in order that staff can access internal company resources securely though. Not for any other reason.Of course many companies make employees use them working from home.
LoL!Tor is over the top for normal use.
Yes, I always select DNS servers not using those from the ISP, and not from Google.The next 'silent' elephant has got to be ... NOT google and/or NOT internet trackers ... but your ISP.
Does your ISP really give a flying-guano about https? I think not!
imo >> How about selecting alternate DNS servers instead of the ISP assigned snoops?
Certainly I wouldn't suggest anyone to employ VPNs but truth be told they have grown up and near transparent anymore.
I think I tried like a Tor browser over a VPN. It worked sometimes and sometimes never went anywhere. It was just to see what would happen.LoL!
I ran a 'relay node' (not an 'exit node') for aide in some int'l refugee/dissident eff activism... I started getting DMCA violation (17 U.S.C. § 512c) notifications from my ISP... The 'safe harbor' clause got me off the hook... until I gave up 9 months later... ever try using tor-over-vpn? A roulette-wheel but strictly for giggles!.
