Web browsers

Of the major web browsers, Firefox is the only one that properly respects user privacy and open web standards.

Why use Firefox?

• Free (as in freedom) and open source
  • No backdoors, independent security auditing
• Google Chrome does not respect your privacy
  • By default Chrome Sync does not end-to-end encrypt user data. This lets Google see all your saved passwords.
  • Even when enabled, the end-to-end encryption has been easy to bruteforce. Again, Google can see all your saved passwords.
