The internet is littered from end to end with articles that have titles like "The 10 best privacy browsers of 2026" but then they go on to list 10 browsers that usually include only one good choice (Brave) along with nine complete lemons ranging from poor privacy like Safari or Opera, down to full on blatant spyware like Chrome or Edge.
This clueless list from Nord VPN is a fairly typical except that it includes 13 browsers. Note that it doesn't include Floorp or Mullvad, and it's supposed to be a privacy ranking. Google's controlled puppet browser Firefox is rated as #1? - Yeah right...
Nord VPN really blew their cred posting that bunch of crap!
I'm not a geek and I'm not being paid to promote anything. I'm looking for simple and effective solutions for myself and my friends. So what do I recommend?
Keeping in mind that I use Linux myself, and have no idea what works best on Windows these days. But if you are using any post Win 7 version of Windows (especially Win 11) you don't actually have any privacy, so your browser is the least of your problems. Same with Apple and even more so with Google.

As well as using Linux I recommend these three browsers:
BRAVE
FLOORP
MULLVAD
