Can it display pages without glitches or bugs? Does it support current internet standards like HTML5? ( Does it work?).

Does it have a development team that publishes upgrades and bug fixes? ( Is it well supported?).What personal information does the browser collect? Who does it share that information with? ( Is it private?).Does the browser resist being hijacked, keep your data safe from snoops, and resist online exploits? ( Is it secure?).How did we choose the browsers to feature here? We considered several factors, including: The most secure browsers that also protect your privacy What this means for us is that while security is our number one priority (this site isn't called SecurityTech for nothing!), we will not recommend any secure browsers that don't also protect your privacy. Between the company's reputation for, um, infringing on people's privacy online, and the fact that the browser is not open source, it would be silly to think that your privacy is protected when you use Chrome. However, Google makes much of its money from selling targeted ads. Google makes sure that their browser is secure, and is constantly upgrading its defenses. A good example of a browser that has strong security but weak privacy is Google Chrome. A secure browser is of little use if you have to surrender your privacy to use it. Your browser must also protect your privacy. Securing your browser is vitally important, but it is only half of the battle. For a good (slightly dated) overview of the situation, you can visit the Securing Your Web Browser page on the US government's Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) website. There are many ways that browser security can be attacked, and the details are too extensive to talk about here. As the F-Secure website points out:Īttackers typically target the web browser to either hijack or snoop on the web traffic from it, or exploit it to access the device itself, and the files saved on it.Ī secure browser will, to the extent possible, prevent attackers from hijacking it, snooping on traffic from it, or exploiting it to get access to the device running the browser. Unfortunately, all these users also attracted people who want access to all that personal information, and will do whatever it takes to get their hands on it. These led to a huge increase in the use of the internet. One of the milestones was the creation of the first web browser and web server by Tim Berners-Lee. The internet has come a long way since its humble, text-only beginnings. Here are the ones to consider… and the ones to avoid.
