5 Best Secure and Private Web Browsers to Look Our For

We are living in the digital age where anything and everything can be posed with the danger of being breached or infringed. Using a secure and private web browser helps you to keep your information safe from the outsiders apart from giving you a better and faster browsing experience. Having all your web activities done through a secure browser keeps you safe from companies like Facebook and Google with respect to your data

We have listed 5 best private and secure web browsers that will make your life easier and are better suited to your needs

What’s the big deal about a Secure Browser?

A secure web browser is built with essential features such as download protection, URL filtering, ‘do not track’ and other security features. Tor is one such browser that offers all those security features, but the downside is Tor being associated with dark web criminal activity people don’t use it that often. Tor is also reportedly known for its connectivity issues. Here is the list of the most secure web browsers that ensures online privacy.

1. Mozilla FireFox

Mozilla stands tall on the list of our secure and fastest Internet browsers as it is good at switching between sites and loading pages. Being compatible with all popular platforms Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS.With synchronization option, Firefox lets you save your bookmarks, passwords, browser settings on other devices where it is installed.

It can detect and show warning messages for destructive websites so users can keep away from cybercriminals, download data from malicious links and websites. It's pop-up ad blocker and privacy browsers are a great addition.

2. Google Chrome

Google Chrome, with its incredibly brilliant capacity to take up least screen space and parental control support, comes as the default web browser with Android smartphones and is compatible with iOS too.

Its ability to track known malware, and notify about destructive websites with malware, phishing emails or devastating links makes it safe and secure to use but in comparison to Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome fails to identify many threats as it depends on third-party browser extension and antivirus programs.

3. Opera

A browser that works best with a slow Internet connection, Opera has an integrated ad-blocker, fewer plugins and works excellent in turbo mode. Yet only 1% of users use Opera. This browser launches fast and also reduces the amount of data transferred thus dodging any restricting placed by ISP. Besides this Opera has a battery saving mode that promises to give your laptop a longer battery life.

4. Vivaldi

Next in the list is Vivaldi web browser which you experience the web in a whole new way. It ensures your online privacy and is capable of handling sensitive crucial data without tracking or storing any of your data. It's incredibly customizable and creative interface along with built-in tools like Notes and screen capture makes it a great browser.

5 Tor

Yes, amidst its drawbacks, Tor is still considered to be one of the most sought-after web browsers. It has a complete suite of online security tools and its privacy web browser keeps browsing private by blocking cookies. The best thing about Tor’s privacy aspects is that it makes tracking your online activity almost impossible. It is a modified version of various privacy packages

Tor software is built on distributed networks of relays to protect Internet data transmission from being tracked by the ISP and other surveillance agencies.

It uses a dedicated encrypted tunnel for sending and receiving of data, thus making it secure.
