Your activities on the internet are under constant surveillance. This means what type of goods or services you show interest in when visiting any browser, what prices you check – all of this is tracked. Browsing data is now valuable to many organisations, including e-commerce vendors.

This happens because advertisements are shown to you based on this data. Various products or services are presented to you in alignment with your search history. Therefore, choosing the right browser is essential if you don't want to become a commodity in this information marketplace, so that personal space on the internet is maintained.

Google and Meta's browsers track everything. Even though there's an option to delete browsing data, the information can be used in various ways until you delete it. Therefore, some private browsers can be much more effective.

Browser without surveillance

Among such browsers, 'Tor' comes first. It encrypts all browsing information, keeping the user's browsing beyond surveillance. However, the price for this has to be paid in browsing speed.

The mobile and desktop versions of the 'DuckDuckGo' browser offer the convenience of its own video player and cookie management tools. As a result, videos from all platforms, including YouTube from the internet run on the browser's own player, which provides an ad-free experience along with security.
