Choosing a web browser

All four major web browsers, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari, have experienced severe security flaws in the recent past, so you should make sure you are using the most up-to-date version, whichever one you choose.

All four major browsers receive a failing grade in our Browser Privacy Scorecard. However, these browsers can be made much better by installing certain extensions (see below).

Alternately, the Tor project provides a modified version of Firefox adapted to be more secure and anonymous called Tor Browser.
