There are LOTS of people in the comments asking about Duck Duck Go. That is a primarily a search engine, not a browser, although they do have a browser app that's only available for smart phone. A browser is different from a search engine. For the most private search engines, including duckduckgo, see this video: th-cam.com/video/o4sMstvwi0I/w-d-xo.html
You are right, DDG is only an App, so far. But Opera Browser is available in all OS (computer and phone), ad blocking and VPN incorporated. Anyway, great video, I'll send it to my customers. :-)
I agree that some browsers are more secure than others but counting on the browser itself to protect privacy might not be enough...similar to the discussion of VPNs when ppl think one VPN is more mature and famous than others, there's no way to find out if my data has been leaked or even sold.
I've always wondered, when you use a VPN, doesn't that just hide or throw off your route or location? So, when you land on a website it's still going to load a tracking cookie onto your computer. If you leave that site and go to another, won't it still register the website you went to, and how long you stayed there, regardless of whether your VPN took you ten times around the globe to get there? Using a VPN can allow a person access to websites they might not be able to normally access, due to appearing to be somewhere you're not, but they don't do anything about the tracking cookie problem do they?
IP numbers are one of hundreds of ways of tracking people. Using a VPN is the equivalent to going by taxi instead of train to a restaurant, they still know it's you, just not how you got there. VPNs sift through and sell your personal data. WeVPN used to repurpose customers systems to route traffic to sites too, to avoid blocking. Many VPNs do this if you install their software, you become an extra exit point. They claim not to log, but do for billing and user access, so do server farms as required by UK Law. The VPN that will only accept cards or PayPal is creating profiles, verified ones, they sell for more. You're paying them to sift through your data and sell it. They're in law less countries too, so no chance of protecting yourself or holding them to account. People using VPNs are scam victims. Easily fooled and manipulated, not too bright... Police run VPNs too, just to watch traffic. Any company you see vanish after a year or two was police, I found one server in the same IP range as police in the North of the UK used, then located it to the city of Chester. It was inside a police station. I'm not sure why WeVPN didn't know. Either they did and shut down, or the whole thing was a scam. You can NOT trust a company with all your data.
As a kid I started with IE. Later teenage years, I shifted to FF. But when GC came out, I was one of the first to migrate to using it up until 2 years ago, I left GC and used Brave due to privacy concerns. At present, I returned to FF because of Multi-Account Containers.
Preferably you would like to have a reasonable amount of privacy while still keeping the fingerprint you leave behind relatively generic. If you're the only person visiting websites with a specific user-agent and a specific unusually strict set of privacy settings, your visits can still be noticed.
I've always trusted brave the most, they're not lying when they say they know what's wrong and they've fixed most of it. I was switched to it from chrome and I was honestly shocked, I thought I wouldn't ever switch from chrome. Nowadays I just hate how so many people are using chrome ( no offense to chrome users ) but chrome is just so overrated and brave or even firefox need more attention.
Yeah, Google Chrome is horrible. I switched from Chrome to Opera GX, But not for gaming I just like all the ways to customize opera. And Chromebooks make me throw up. I'm a windows guy, But i'd rather use a Macbook for 5 months than a chromebook.

Brave is currently the way to go. However an important feature of brave is not mentioned. Brave in incognito mode, allows for use of tor network for browsing. So, one need not use the tor browser to get the tor network benefits. I find this feature to make Brave the most perfect choice at the moment. Oh and liked + subscribed, Naomi your content is awesome, just discovered today.
Most important, a browser is and can only be as secure as the user makes it. Even Tor will not protect you if you sign in to accounts and do not know how to use it correctly. It does depend on how much privacy you need or prefer or want. All browsers do offer some level of privacy if used correctly and if you do take the time to configure it correctly. Ultimately it would be best to not use one browser for all your stuff but rather split different things between different browsers and even different search engines to prevent any one of them from getting a full picture of who you are or what you do. Btw, Tor is capable of blocking JavaScript, but by default, it will not block much. Most people will be turned off immediately if they open a website and the media doesn't load. Both Brave and Tor do by default use DuckDuckGo as the search engine. There is another option, but I haven't checked it out yet, but that is a different level of privacy as that requires running a privacy-focused Linux distribution Known as Kodachi. In effect, it uses a VPN and the Tor network and does come with several plugins.
yeah decentralized networks is the only way to go, TOR is notoriously known to be super unsafe place to share any kind of info, with the internet heading more and more towards decentralization, what's need is a secure decen network
Bad Idea. Facebook is useful in so many ways and the problems are relatively small compared to its usefulness.

Bonjour Naomi. Nice channel. I would have a suggestion : as you made several vidéos on security and privacy, it might me interesting to do one that compile all the software to use (OS, browser, email, tchat, etc.) And the right habits to adopt in order to be protected. Thanks for your work.

I use Opera as my default browser and firefox as an alternate. Opera has an inbuilt Ad blocker and VPN. Kindly share your thoughts on it. Respects from India.
Didn't Firefox agree with Google a couple of years ago, to block certain sites (censor) at browser level? If I remember correctly, that is why its founder left Firefox and started Brave.
@@sensualhypnotherapy That's not a problem really. Everyone who gives a brick about privacy or security changes the default settings when setting up any software
Technically it's not Brave that needs your ID to withdraw the crypto, but Uphold (as any exchange legally has to) where you must follow what is a bare minimum to satisfy government mandated know-your-customer/client.
We can watch TV, play our radios with antennas with no interference, so we need private antennas with no fear of a "party" line interference, simple as that.
Firefox can be modified a lot more than Chrome, using about:config you can enable many extra privacy features (like resistFingerprinting). However, it's arguable whether this makes your browser more unique, despite randomizing fingerprinting results constantly. It can also break websites, like TH-cam stats displaying dropped frames when it's actually fine.
Why can't someone make a ultra private browser. It could be like brave but with better fingerprinting protection brave will spoof some variables but you can still be fingerprinted through other things. So why not just spoof everything so every time you open a new tab it will randomize the information you send
At 1st I used Firefox but there are many websites and apps that Firefox doesn't support. Most of the time (at least on my laptop) I use Safari which protects from many trackers, but they all have their breaches. FB won't allow me to use video on Safari, forced to use Google. & Google tries to force itself to be sole browser, but I don't bite. I only use when forced
For guys with a strong crush on redheads (like me of course) watching naomi everyday is a blessing But here i'm for the content (as well as for naomi of course) Very great video naomi by the way darling Thanks
As someone who has been passionate about privacy since I was in Middle School, channels like this are a shining light in the darkness that is technocratic overreach.
Honestly, I tried both Brave and Edge, but don't like how the UIs of both feel too much like Google Chrome with its lack of UI customisability options in comparison to Pale Moon and Firefox, my preferred Web browsers. I really wish there was a way to add Brave features to Vivaldi, as I see the latter as being the Pale Moon of Chromium-based Web browsers.
I missed the Vivaldi as an option. You might want to include it the next time. Otherwise a great video like that someone is talking about those topics!
A fabulous informative video. Spot on. 👍The first thing I do when I install windows is install Firefox and fully remove Edge browser. I was shocked at how much info Edge was sending back to Microsoft
This site is a joy as you research well and obviously script your message, honing it to the neat and interesting delivery. Shortish is good too. I prefer the time it takes to boil an egg for a video
I think it would be worth talking about the forks of firefox. I've found Librewolf to be the most practical, but also secure one for me. It comes with UBlockOrigin already setup, with an easy guide on how to make it the highest (but most annoying) level of security. With a dozen or so extra extensions it's pretty good.
There is no hope for complete privacy in the future. Systems will become so complex nobody will escape surveillance. I can already buy equipment enabling me to see into people's homes.
I have been using Opera for 20 years. Never been hacked, mal-wared or virused & it works perfectly on all web sites. It has a built in VPN & all of its' settings are easily accessed through the preference menu without having to navigate 1/2 dozen screens. Things like Pop Up blockers, malicious site warnings, speed dial & mouse gestures have been standard features for 15 years. Almost no one uses it so no one bothers writing malicious code for it.
I use for different things: Dissenter, Vivaldi, Comodo Dragon and Ice Dragon, and at times Opera and Cliq. I also prefer to leave confusing information than obsess with secrecy.
Where does Vivaldi fit into this list? I converted one of my Windows laptops to Linux, and installed Vivaldi, and I like it, but don't know if it's better for security than Firefox, which I use everywhere else.
opera got bought out by chinese and the privacy is as worst as google chrome or edge. The better alternative would be Vivaldi or Otter, both has an opera interface.
I like to use EFF's Cover Your Tracks to compare the Ad Blocking, Tracking, and Fingerprinting protection of browsers. Brave is the only browser that passes.... Brave's Randomized Fingerprint is key to its' success. Users really need tools that allow them to test on their own and relieve them of dependence upon others.
On mobile i use Opera. On my computers i use Firefox. When i started to use internet in the late 90's, i used IE, ofc. Then, when other browsers came, it was among the first thing to disable/uninstall. I always avoided Chrome, not only for privacy and functionality issues, but because it looks horrible and i don't have the patience to constantly tune it. I have never used nor i will ever use Edge.
There is no such thing as "private browsing" on the internet. Homeland Security monitors everything you type, view, and say over the internet which includes your phones.
@@r7anubis758 You may be right; however, I doubt it. Anywhere there is government there is something similar to Homeland in place to watch everything you do.
One problem is, there's no way to know that browsers actually respect your settings. I don't trust that they do. I think it's just a pretense. Thus I run browsers within virtual machines and lie about myself on any site that insists on asking who I am.
FWIW, this is my field and what she said is exactly right. One clarification, the reference platform for W3C has been Firefox. If a site works with another browser but not Firefox, tell them to get their act together as their site does not meet established web standards.
First- Wow she's beautiful. To the point were it's difficult to focus on her presentation. Second- Tor seems to use a lot of battery. And Crypto ALWAYS takes longer than plaintext, no matter the system by definition. More steps!

Oh my goodness you have a twin Mary Berg from the Marilyn Dennis show. Thank you for showing us the most 'secure door'.
Haha yeah I get that a lot!
Omg im glad I found this channel....i think im in love
This site is a joy as you research well and obviously script your message, honing it to the neat and interesting delivery. Shortish is good too. I prefer the time it takes to boil an egg for a video
I really appreciate your kind words!
Good analysis, tho you MIGHT have hammered a few of the other 'less than private' browsers out there...as a public service of course:)
I think it would be worth talking about the forks of firefox. I've found Librewolf to be the most practical, but also secure one for me. It comes with UBlockOrigin already setup, with an easy guide on how to make it the highest (but most annoying) level of security. With a dozen or so extra extensions it's pretty good.
Obviously not available on ios and I'm guessing android though. Firefox privacy seems pretty good though on the phone.
Big fan of Librewolf as well.
Thank you Naomi. Your videos are always helpful
Really glad to hear it!
This is a real joy to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So is her dress and glasses.
Brave is loaded with bloat beyond belief. If they released a version that didn't have the BAT and wallet system, it would have been tolerable...
There is no hope for complete privacy in the future. Systems will become so complex nobody will escape surveillance. I can already buy equipment enabling me to see into people's homes.
What about the Vivaldi browser? How does it compare with Brave?
You have really opened my eyes!!! This was information that I didn't know. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome!
Many thanks Naomi ...Lovely informative presentation .......how would rate Opera?
Chinese Spyware
Very informative video. Great if you can add Vivaldi and Opera to your comparison. Thanks
Simple straight forward comparison.
🙏
Thanks. I watched your video with Firefox.
great. now I want to watch the matrix. again
I enjoyed your presentation. I use Firefox in Linux and am exploring TOR and TAILS
Great video, subbed. Concise, clear, and well presented.
💛🙏
I have been using Opera for 20 years. Never been hacked, mal-wared or virused & it works perfectly on all web sites. It has a built in VPN & all of its' settings are easily accessed through the preference menu without having to navigate 1/2 dozen screens. Things like Pop Up blockers, malicious site warnings, speed dial & mouse gestures have been standard features for 15 years. Almost no one uses it so no one bothers writing malicious code for it.
I use for different things: Dissenter, Vivaldi, Comodo Dragon and Ice Dragon, and at times Opera and Cliq. I also prefer to leave confusing information than obsess with secrecy.
Do you know how to make a döner?
@@SuperKanuuna ?
Comodo dragon is still around? Does comodo still do firewall?
@@Ohh-fk4ed No, seems to be focusing on Gateway protection..
before I was like - IE search for "chrome", today - Chrome search for "brave"
Where does Vivaldi fit into this list? I converted one of my Windows laptops to Linux, and installed Vivaldi, and I like it, but don't know if it's better for security than Firefox, which I use everywhere else.
Will cover!
Firefox has another feature, 'Private Browsing', to keep other users of your computer from following your history.
I dearly miss Opera in here.. Otherwise a good eye-opening video
I agree
jep
What do you think of Opera?
I don't know... I use opera (opera gx) as of now because it has user friendly interface.
opera got bought out by chinese and the privacy is as worst as google chrome or edge. The better alternative would be Vivaldi or Otter, both has an opera interface.
@@Unnop64art I am new to this, and was looking for info on Opera. Is it really that bad?
I like to use EFF's Cover Your Tracks to compare the Ad Blocking, Tracking, and Fingerprinting protection of browsers. Brave is the only browser that passes.... Brave's Randomized Fingerprint is key to its' success. Users really need tools that allow them to test on their own and relieve them of dependence upon others.
Perhaps you can include Vivaldi in a future video. Thanks.
On mobile i use Opera. On my computers i use Firefox. When i started to use internet in the late 90's, i used IE, ofc. Then, when other browsers came, it was among the first thing to disable/uninstall. I always avoided Chrome, not only for privacy and functionality issues, but because it looks horrible and i don't have the patience to constantly tune it. I have never used nor i will ever use Edge.
I like you - such a good first impression. Great info that I will put to use right away. Immediate subscribe. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
I use Waterfox and Brave. Don't miss a thing.
No mention of Vivaldi, I see, with built-in cookie blockers, ad blockers, and more.
I use Brave, but stay away from Firefox. Use Librewolf instead. It private right out of the box.
queen! Love the info. Always insightful
Thanks so much!
Came for info about browsers...stayed for hot redhead❤ I am aware I'm bad lol
There is no such thing as "private browsing" on the internet. Homeland Security monitors everything you type, view, and say over the internet which includes your phones.
That’s what I was thinking haha
Lmfao there ain't no homeland in India
@@r7anubis758 You may be right; however, I doubt it. Anywhere there is government there is something similar to Homeland in place to watch everything you do.
@@jameskesterson8615 yes, we do have something similar. But there's always ways to do whatever we want to do, privately, IF the need rises
@@r7anubis758 When government exists, there is no such thing as privacy...that is an illusion government gives so people will think they have privacy.
I enjoy your videos and I think you are providing a rare and very necessary service. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for explaining this so well.
Tor Browser is a great alternative, but like you mentioned already it's very slow.
I wonder how the Vivaldi browser ranks? I have been playing around with that one.
I love Brave Fiefox and Tor. I even use SeaMonkey.
One problem is, there's no way to know that browsers actually respect your settings. I don't trust that they do. I think it's just a pretense. Thus I run browsers within virtual machines and lie about myself on any site that insists on asking who I am.
Its opensource sometimes..
@@Electronieks just because something is open-source doesn't mean it can't lie to you.
@@TheNefastor you can check it ....( sonos or apple ... is closed source
Look into dot browser.
Libra wolf if you’re interested.
@@TheNefastor its open source tho so people are looking at the code to make sure there isn't any suspicious activity
Thank you for setting a good example in displaying the sources of your included media on screen 👍
What about Opera?
Opera is not mentioned, but Opera is now owned by a Chinese company, so it is a nonstarter.
You forgot Vivaldi. Made by the original developers of opera. It's really pretty good, just don't enable e-mail yet. Still beta.
FWIW, this is my field and what she said is exactly right. One clarification, the reference platform for W3C has been Firefox. If a site works with another browser but not Firefox, tell them to get their act together as their site does not meet established web standards.
Love your "rocket"!
I’ve been using Brave since 2016 and don’t plan on switching anytime soon.
First- Wow she's beautiful. To the point were it's difficult to focus on her presentation.
Second- Tor seems to use a lot of battery. And Crypto ALWAYS takes longer than plaintext, no matter the system by definition. More steps!
Hi Naomi
What about Vivaldi browser?
Is it safe like Firefox and Brave?
Always a total pro!
Thanks so much!!
Thanks Naomi for this excellent video! You have a perfect balance between gory detail and what we really need to know. Love your little movie video insertions too! Sub'ed. Blessings!
Now I watch it again, and listen to what she says.
