Things to consider…

-

Are there enough extensions?

> Secure browsers often restrict the choice of available extensions and plug-ins. If they don’t, it’s important to ensure that you’re not undoing the browser’s good work by running privacy-breaking add-ons.

Do you need it to sync between devices?

> Some of the browsers have iOS/iPadOS versions or versions for other platforms that can sync with your Mac’s browser.

Are you sharing stuff voluntaril­y?

> No matter how secure, browsers can’t stop you from sharing data if you do it voluntaril­y. Don’t use social media accounts to log in to other websites, and be careful what personal data you give to sites.

Do you need a VPN?

> Some browsers can hide your address and traffic, but only for your web browser. If you need to use other apps privately too, you’ll need a dedicated VPN.
