Privacy or tracking and selling of your data? What are you going to do?

In this video, I run a practical browser privacy test and compare how different browsers behave on real websites. I demonstrate how bad some browsers are compared to others (pop-ups, intrusive ads, tracking, cookie prompts, autoplay videos, and a huge amount of visual clutter) which results in more bandwidth, CPU and memory being used.

Not only does this make browsing bad, but can it can also increase your privacy risks through data harvesting, aggressive tracking, and potentially
malicious ads.

I tested a bunch of browsers in this video:
1) Microsoft Edge
2) Google Chrome
3) Mullvad Browser
4) Brave
5) Tor
6) LibreWolf
7) DuckDuckGo Browser
8)  Firefox
9) Safari

A practical comparison of privacy-focused browsers versus mainstream options like Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. Using real UK news websites as test cases, the video demonstrates how ad-heavy and tracking-heavy mainstream browsers are compared to privacy alternatives. Recommended browsers for daily use include Brave and Mullvad Browser (based on Firefox/Tor), with LibreWolf as another Firefox-based option. For anonymous browsing, Tor Browser is recommended. Resources like privacyguides.org and privacytests.org are highlighted for independent verification. Opera is flagged for Chinese ownership concerns, and DuckDuckGo browser gets a mixed review.
