Thanks for the tips. I wasn't aware of of all tracking.

[@MrDowntemp0]

Good vid. I think some caveats should've been made more clear though. Calling chrome Open Source deserved an asterisk since the parts of it that aren't open source (the google parts on top of chromium) are the parts that are a greater concern for privacy/security. I think it's also important to point out that firefox cad, and is often set up to not really be very private at all. Sure its a little more than chrome by default, but to really benefit from it, you've gotta do some tweaking, or use a resource like betterfox or arkenfox. On the other end though, Firefox CAN be hardened *significantly* on its own, and with responsible use of plugins.

[@zs7869]

??? How do you rectify the TIME (clock) that LibreWolf shows on various web sites (ebay, amazon etc.). It is never the correct one.

[@Physis_88]

Isn't the Tor browser a modified Firefox, and not Chromium as shown at 2:36?

[@monywon]

Yes

[@shadowcodr]

It's crazy someone put this video out with this many glaring mistakes and people are probably just believing it. Calling Chrome open source is like calling Biden brilliant or Trump humble.

Disagree with your security updates ranking for Brave and other Chromium-based browsers. They all have update cycles equal too or better than Google Chrome (remember that one's like Brave have to also update for enhanced features beyond those supplied by the Chromium base code especially enhanced Privacy).

this video should be a little alarming with all the misses and incorrect info on some of the features ..Am I being to picky by thinking this video is not a great source for facts when it comes to making an educated personal decision ? I see you have year of IT work in your field and just curious if I'm being ridiculous and should over look all the little things many comments are pointing out .... especially bc I am new to all of this and I'm trying to educate myself on becoming more knowledgeable. with everything when it comes to using the internet and technology and the basics when it comes to are browsers that we use from the get-go... I just feel like this might be getting me off on the wrongs but even trying to gather some information before I start learning to code I mean I'm a brand brand new as in yesterday just picked up a book for beginners on coding and now I'm just kind of exploring different creators with content to where I could possibly start getting information that would help me learn more about the internet in about this topic as a whole

I have a question for iPhone or iPad users, do you think that by installing a browser other than Safari you are simply using a "skin" and are you really using the same engine that powers Safari (WebKit)? I ask the question because I have seen this on several forums.

This used to be the case, but Apple recently did something that allows web browsers to use their own engine, like Firefox with Gecko.
