    love the way this post makes it feel like its best for your privacy!! oh wow incognito......
    why not cut the **** and ditch all of them and go for brave with its inbuilt no ads... a private search and inbuilt TOR?

    But out of all of the browsers you mention, they ALL track you in their own way. and your making it seem "secure and safe and private"

    one of the safest things you could do right now is to uninstall chrome!

    feeling Brave yet?!

    Advertisement for brave?
    there exist no "incognito" mode for browsers. any browser is leaking data, more or less.
    hiding IP? pointless.

    some need to fake all header data and maybe disabling javascript, but that ill make a lot of pages fail.

    incognito (chrome) or privacy (firefox) mode has a well-defined environment whats saved or kept.

    in case of TOR (firefox) there are used some more switches, but user is never at any time incognito. and in special when using a login with real data this attempt is pretty waste of time. in case of darknet - no current browser has the ability to vanish ^^

    Your comment is "on the right track", but not perfect.

    No, not at all. But any improvement from the widened channels of passing signals dishing out collectable data is always a worthwhile cheer IMO.

    Besides you fella's and the gal's in here are way ahead of this member in the Browser Tech department.

    It looked that way, because in any thread about privacy or ads Brave is one of the given "solutions". that's kinda annoying and at least its water boiled another way. If avoiding tracking or ads there exist from my view no other solution to get it out with some kind of extension, i see basic filtering in any browser as not enough.
