All web browsers get you on the internet, but don’t assume they’re all alike.

“Browsers vary a lot,” Amira Dhalla, a privacy expert at Consumer Reports. “Some browsers are more secure for you than others, and do different things when it comes to storing, collecting, or sharing your data.”

Google Chrome (the most popular browser) and Microsoft Edge (which replaced Internet Explorer in 2015) “are more likely to collect your data to be able to feed it back to their parent companies to use it for digital advertising,” Dhalla said.

This includes location information, search history, and details about your browsing, data that’s linked to your identity and harnessed for third-party advertising.

“We at Consumer Reports recommend browsers like DuckDuckGo, Brave, and Firefox,” she said. “Those are so much better for you in terms of what they collect and share and permissions that they allow you to change in the back end.”

While Chrome may infringe on your privacy, Consumer Reports says it does have a reputation for being the best at defending against attackers. So, you’ll have to decide which is most important for you – privacy or security.

Keep in mind: All browsers, including Chrome, have privacy settings you can use to limit tracking.
