Firefox
4.4
(33)
"Firefox Browser with max protection, DNS encryption with NextDNS (better pay for it and have a decent profile, check Techlore tutorial). Then use Ghostery (uBlock is shit), Firefox Extension Container and Facebook container."
"Firefox is great. Almost any real privacy focused browser is a Firefox fork. Tor, Mullvad, Librewolf, etc. Firefox + arkenfox user script is perfect for most cases. If you really want to go further, use Tor."
