I am trying to get better with my privacy, and I specifically want to try and avoid big US tech where possible. I know they there are many people saying you should use multiple browsers for better privacy and all that stuff, but I’m also being realistic with myself - I just want a solid browser experience that has decent privacy and i can live with that for the most part. Not opposed to maybe 2 browsers, but I’d like one daily driver, especially for work.

I do a lot of social media management and am using the Steam backend daily as I work for a game studio. I need to use YouTube and Bluesky and all those things, so it needs to handle media.

I’m running Vivaldi at the moment after jumping off Chrome. I don’t need to use Chromium. I was trialing Orion on my Mac but I use a Linux machine at home, a windows PC sometimes at work, having something across all would be nice and once again I know that is not 100% privacy, but it’s better than the average user.

Advice would be super appreciate.

    LibreWolf is a Firefox fork hardened for privacy. I suggest to disable the cookie and history deletion for it to be more usable. It has a more tradicional UI than Zen.

      Thanks for the info. I’ve seen Librewolf recommended a lot but also found a lot of threads of “normies” complaining it was a pain to use daily. I’ll give it a spin!

        You’ll almost certainly want to disable some of the more extreme privacy settings. Specifically, enabling Canvas and WebGL will make it much more usable, at the cost of some reduced privacy.
