What Browser to Use? About Browser Isolation

Which browser should I use? The answer I give to this frequently asked question is "all". And in today's video I explain more specifically what this means. What I teach here is what I call: Browser isolation, and if used properly is a very effective way of blocking Google and Facebook from knowing your browsing history.
This is a very specific implementation and it is very effective and flawless at least on computer browsers. There are different additional risks on phones.

[@fredjones43]

@@Hy-Brasil Not at all. What I meant was, why worry about trying to use google search anymore since they have messed it up so bad, you can’t find anything anymore. It ignores your specific query and answers something you did not ask it. As for using it to watch your dvd’s, I don’t believe it is terrible to do that if you limit that browser to you dvd’s and other google services. For everything else, use a different browser. Rob Braxman says in that way you can severely limit their tracking capability. I am assuming she is not using google to watch dvd’s she does not want it known she is watching? I assume she knows better than that.

[@valeriehancotte-galan4790]

[@gorkyd7912]

I don't think this should be as depressing as people think it is. The depression comes from fear, the fear comes from the unknown; we don't know how much they know about us or how they're using it so it's scary. The more you know the less fearful you will be and the less depressed you will be. The insinuation is "Google knows everything you do online" or something like that, scary, but move past your fears and the truth is more like Google is a system of CCTV cameras on public streets. It sees little bits of your public life (browsing the internet) and that's it. It uses AI to try to make assumptions about you that it can use for its purposes. The assumptions are always wrong because browsing the internet even for a heavy internet user is not their entire life, but they can still be useful when aggregated across many, many users even with this very low acuity. If you've ever tried to advertise to users on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, you will see just how bad these assumptions are by how they target your ads. Actually they know almost nothing, but the fear of these systems cripples dissidents needlessly and yes they are improving their information over time.

unfortunately that will be a monumental monster to slay with democrats in power. their useful idiots have lapped this up for days and the politicians are demanding more. the only real thing to do is find a way to live without it. if you have a smart phone for fun then get rid of it. if you have social media so you can look at what Sam in Denver is having for lunch then get rid of it. start actually calling and TALING to your family, hearing their voices and seeing their faces... get rid of all of it. Humans are naturally basic creatures who only need food shelter and companionship. the rest just drags us down and stresses us out and shortens our miserable depressed lifespans. learn to garden, read books made of paper, teach your pet a trick..... and be happy that you don't need to show it to anyone else except those around you who actually love you.

I'd appreciate your opinion as I'm stuck on making a tough decision. I'm looking for an optimal web browser set up for maximum online privacy. I'm debating which of these 3 options is best. The first option is using 4 different web browsers, 1 for each (email, banking, shopping and general web browsing). Option 2 is using Firefox exclusively and having 4 different user profiles set up. Option 3 is to use just 1 Firefox user profile and create "containers". I love firefox and really prefer option 3 best then option 2 because it would be great using 1 browser. However, I'm thinking it will not offer the most security against fingerprinting and tracking. I'm new to all this and would greatly appreciate your suggestions!
