According to the Bank of Spain, 1,600 million euros are lost every year due to cybers. And that only in Spain. One of the most efficient prevention measures in this regard is to try to use the safest systems when navigating the Internet. And that obviously includes search engines. The most common are Chrome (Google) and Safari.
These search engines are safe, yes: they receive updates and frequent support from their developers, the problem is that they let it be desired in privacy. So… Which are the best in prevention of prevention? The three recommended have constant support and updates, but include specific configurations To block ads, trackers and more invasive options.
The first recommendation is Mullvad Browser, a search engine designed to avoid traces and protect your identity, even when we work without a VPN (virtual private network). This is a search engine known as a fork, a modification of another search engine (in this case of Firefox). What makes Mullvad interesting is that Block everything that sites can use to track us. It has very flexible configurations, so much that despite working with your own VPN, it allows you to select any other that we already have installed.
The second aspect that makes it interesting is that private navigation is already activated by default, which prevents our history, location, contacts, mail address. It is also responsible for eraseing cookies and blocking the requests for fingerprints that make the sites. And the last of the remarkable qualities is a rare detail: it makes all the sites believe that our time zone is UTC (the hourly zone that corresponds to the Canary Islands, for example), regardless of where we are.
The other recommended safe server option is Librewolf, also a Firefox modification, with a series of default settings that block trackers and malicious scripts. Default, Change Google by Duckduckgo as a predetermined search engine. To that adds that Ublock Origin includesone of the most recommended and complete advertisement blockers in the market. It is the most recommended option for Firefox fans.
We finally have Brave. Its most remarkable feature is that it is fast when blocking ads and has specific configurations for those who have a cryptocurrency portfolio. Among its possible configurations It has advertising filters, tracking detector and cookie lock. But you have to configure them for this, they are not accepted by default.
A detail that some may already like others will lead to distrust is that it has a slight influence of Google through Chromium (Google Open Source software). Navigation is fast, it has mobile options and is compatible with many third -party applications.
