So I'm going to 'edit' the Firefox posting to include Siletrea's recommendation, and delete the above post and this one I'm writing/posting now... Well, by the end of the week anyway.
make that a Recommendation and a Rebuke....

There are some things I like about Firefox (Add-ons, Themes etc.), and there's some things I don't like about it (Whenever it updates to a way later version, add-ons you have installed in the previous version(s) may not be compatible with the new version). But either way, it's still a better web browser than Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge... in my opinion anyway.

I'm stuck with a very outdated version of FireFox (37.0) because it's the only one that works on my computer. Both IE and Chrome are busted beyond repair despite my countless attempts to fix them.

Stop creepy tracking from Facebook and Google.

Intercept and remove email trackers.
85% of emails sent through Duck Addresses contained hidden email trackers before we stripped them out. Email Protection zaps most trackers and forwards email to your regular inbox so you can read in peace.

Block app trackers, day or night.
Over 96% of popular free Android apps we tested allow other companies to invade your privacy, like using your location to map everywhere you go. Stop most of their spying and take back control on Android!

DerVVulfman: On changing over to DuckDuckGo, I found some interesting things... fewer alerts from my anti-virus of being tracked. And a page within the browser noted just how many tracking cookies that DuckDuckGo had indeed blocked... a LOT!

Well, Duck has been criticized for working for Microsoft in the past.
Bleeping Computer's Article
Wired's Article
Of course, DDG now claims that they don't let Microsoft's trackers get any personal information from your browser.
Reuter's Article
Even so I do think that DDG's searches are less complete than Google's or simply offer way less data than its competitors. But don't take my word for granted and check yourself which browser suits your needs the best.
RE: Web Browsers - DerVVulfman - 06-12-2024
And the browser just stopped nearly 150 tracking cookies from your three articles just now:
And this is the browser, not the search engine, the two being separate. So if you wish to search with Google while using the DuckDuckGo browser, you can.
Meanwhile, I removed my recommendation for Seamonkey. The browser is no longer keeping up-to-date with websites, and the staff at Mozilla is now forcing 'users' to patch it themselves.
