Partial success for Ungoogled Chromium in vanilla configuration Starts by opening up Google’s About Chrome page, bringing down Google on your head before you even have time to add any extensions to block Google. Iridium (Version 2021.10)įail on all counts: Iridium fails on all counts

Here’s how these top privacy browsers score on my Mac Pro running Big Sur 11.6.1. Only a browser which is on your side, pro-actively blocking these measures can (partially) protect your privacy. Of course a surfer’s extension profile changes and s/he may change something about his or her computer (RAM for instance or storage or monitor) but it’s pretty easy to track an individual even without cookies. The latter deserves explanation: by gathering information about your computer, your monitor, your browser extensions, your IP, your time-zone settings, companies like Google with their Chrome browser are effectively able to identify an individual down to one in a million. The EFF has created a test called Cover Your Tracks which tests browsers for their ability to block tracking ads, block invisible trackers and prevent browser fingerprinting. Talk is cheap and fortunately the EFF is here to referee. All of Iridium, unGoogled Chromium and Brave Browser make bold claims for privacy.
