Try Andi, it’s the most private (active privacy protection, anonymous, no account, no ads, no cookies, no logs, random proxie, own reader mode, watch YouTube videos sandboxed in the search results, apart the best in accuracy in an independent AI benchmark. I use it since 2 years as main search by default. https://andisearch.com/

It is not that difficult to prevent private and important data from being leaked. It’s not about becoming invisible, just slow browsing with TOR behind a VPN with difficulties on many web pages. We must differentiate between private data related to the person and the activity, this naturally must be hidden or spoofed as much as possible, and on the other hand technical data, necessary for the pages to be able to display the content properly (screen resolution, public IP to display the correct language, operating system, desktop or mobile, etc.). This is data that does not compromise privacy when it coincides with millions of other users. All other can be blocked with a good ad/trackerblocker and some common sense to avoid the existing traps and dirty tricks used by the compañies.

Spain here. Yes, most listened argument “I’ve nothing to hide” or “Companies already knows all about you” and similar BS. You can’t do more than warn them, explaining that online privacy is synonymous with security, if they don’t pay attention, well, Darwin approves.

Data that companies sell to others puts it outside our control, we do not know how they treat and protect it or even continue to spread over the Internet.

I don’t believe that Win10 will die, due to the huge amount of users and companies. I think that it will be the same a with Win7, which survived several years it’s announced end. There are still users which can’t even update to Win11 with a relative new computer (without tricks), not because the lack of sources, but because it’s specs don’t appear in the list made by M$ of supported specs, as in my case with a 3 years old Laptop, because my AMD Radeon 9425 don’t appears in this idiotic list, offering to buy a new PC to use Win11 🤬💩

In case that you be aware that it is activated by default, 90% of the users are not. No advice by Apple

My problem is different

• My body: coffee

Vivaldi use it’s own sync server since ever, Google don’t permit Google sync for other browser than Chrome itself, it’s a degoogled Chromium and no really need of extensions, due to inbuild blocker and other tools, even Dark Mode for websites and Page Filters. It has less relations with Google than Mozilla, where your account data is shared with Alphabet (a no-go for me). But yes, it’s the only Chromium usable related to privacy. Vivaldi’s business modell isn’t based on ads or third party investors, It is the only EU Browser, apart the KDE Konqueror, on eye level to the US (Chinese) hegemony of big Companies (my Main reason to use it)

Maybe, but reverse image search with face recognition is a big risk, PimEye isn’t the only one, there are also FaceCheck, ProFace Finder and some other which are using AI, accessible for any s…normal.

Premium user?

I use Vivaldi sync e2ee (Bookmarks, Passwords, Apps, Extensions, Notes, Reader lists, Tabs, Auto complete, History) and Zen Browser as second, without account and sync, because Mozilla has turned into an advertising company, instead importing datas from Vivaldi.

Bad if you don’t find yourself without an app, but worse when any idiot can track and stalk you usinge this app.

I remember when my mother-in-law lost the 710 cover of her car and the problem to buy a new one
