对大多数互联网用户来说，网络浏览器应用是他们最常接触的工具。不论其在桌面或移动设备上工作，无论平台如何，总会用到网络浏览器。


通过浏览器，我们可以访问云存储、银行服务、社交媒体、电商平台，以及无数其他服务。


因此，选择一个尊重隐私，并能提供安全网络体验的浏览器对你来说至关重要。


下面我将为你重点展示一些在你选择的任何设备上可以使用的、最佳的注重隐私的浏览器。


### LibreWolf


[LibreWolf](https://librewolf.net/) 是 Firefox 的一个分支版本，它开箱即用地提供了隐私增强功能。


LibreWolf 不只是一个配置稍有不同的 Firefox。它完全清除了所有的遥测、DRM 保护，并在安全方面进行了各种改进。


比如说，每当你关闭浏览器时，它会自动删除浏览和下载历史。此外，你也可以根据 [文档](https://librewolf.net/docs/settings/) 调整这种行为并根据自己的喜好进行自定义。


再者，你还能得到像 DuckDuckGo 和 Qwant 这样的 [隐私友好搜索引擎](https://itsfoss.com/privacy-search-engines/)。同时，uBlock Origin 的扩展功能在该浏览器中默认就开启了。


它不仅能提供私密和安全的体验，LibreWolf 还去掉了一些可能会分散用户注意力的 Firefox 元素，例如一个更清爽的新标签页和 Firefox 同步功能。


亮点：


* 这是专门为了隐私定制的版本
* 可以根据需要调整定制选项
* 默认禁用 Firefox Sync 同步功能
* 仅支持桌面平台（Linux、Windows 和 macOS）


### Brave


[Brave](https://brave.com/en-in/) 是基于 Chromium 的知名版本。它以提供了飞快的网页用户体验而备受赞誉。


Brave 提供了大量以隐私为中心的设置，如：无需创建账户就能安全同步浏览器数据。该浏览器有效地阻止了跟踪器，给你带来了私密网络体验。


你还能获得一些附加功能，如奖励系统（用于选择性广告）和加密钱包。


虽然这个浏览器支持跨平台使用，但对于 Linux 系统，其安装过程与其他式有所不同。你可以参考我们的教程寻找帮助：

亮点：


* 快速的网页浏览体验
* 与 Chrome 相似的用户体验
* 提供安全的浏览器同步选项
* 提供了额外的功能，如加密钱包等
* 支持 Linux、安卓、iOS、Windows 和 macOS


### Firefox


[Mozilla Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/) 是无数隐私爱好者的首选浏览器。


它有很多隐私保护功能，包括有阻止跟踪、设定不同 DNS 的能力。


Firefox 提供了独特的用户体验，整合了 νρη、电子邮件别名、Pocket 等实用功能，以及一个 Firefox 账户可以方便地同步所有你的浏览器数据。


使用 Firefox，你可以自定义用户界面，并通过 JavaScript 文件调整体验。如果你并不打算使用 Firefox，但仍希望提升隐私保护，你可以查看 GitHub 上的 [arkenfox 配置](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js)。


如果你在 [Firefox 和 Brave](/article-13736-1.html) 之间感到困惑，我们的比较文章可以帮你深入了解、从而做出选择：

亮点：


* 考虑到可用性而设计出的以隐私为核心的功能
* 整合了 Firefox 同步和 Pocket 功能
* 支持 Linux、Windows、安卓、iOS 和 macOS 等平台


### Tor 浏览器


[Tor 浏览器](https://www.torproject.org/download/) 是注重隐私的用户的最佳选择。


因为它基于 Firefox，所以你基本能获取同样的体验，同时进行了一些改动以更高级别提升安全特性和隐私。


与 LibreWolf 不同的是，Tor 浏览器让你能使用 [Tor 网络](https://itsfoss.com/tor-guide/)，这可能会影响你的网络体验，但对隐私方面的提升很大。你可以通过浏览 [洋葱网站](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tor_onion_services) 来保证隐私。


如同 Brave，Tor 浏览器在 Linux 系统上的安装可能有点复杂。如果你是 Linux 用户，你可以参考我们的教程：

亮点：


* 严格的隐私保护，尽管这可能降低可用性
* 连接 Tor 网络
* 支持 Linux、Windows、安卓 和 macOS 等平台


### Mullvad 浏览器


Mullvad 是最好的 [νρη 服务](https://itsfoss.com/best-vpn-linux/) 之一。[Mullvad 浏览器](https://mullvad.net/en/browser) 的开发是与 Tor 项目合作完成的，其特点是专门为使用 νρη 而非 Tor 网络而定制。


你也可以在 Mullvad 浏览器上结合使用其它的 νρη 服务。该浏览器内置了 uBlock Origin 和 NoScript 等扩展，提供他们所追求的私密体验。此外，浏览器并不支持 Firefox 同步。


虽然你不能移除这些扩展，但他们并不推荐你添加更多扩展。


亮点：


* 专为 νρη 使用而定制
* 预先安装了不能被移除的扩展
* 只支持桌面平台（Linux、Windows 和 macOS）


### 总结


随着网络的不断发展且需要处理各种问题，依赖于一个重视隐私的浏览器变得更加方便。


在上述提及的浏览器中，Firefox 和 Brave 是大多数人的首选。但如果你寻求更严格的保护和更多的配置，那么 LibreWolf 应该会符合你的需求。


当然，使用像 Tor 浏览器、LibreWolf 和 Mullvad 这样特别定制的浏览器，你将失去在移动设备上使用它们的灵活性。因此，你可以为你的智能手机选择一个单独的浏览器，或者选择一个支持你所有设备的浏览器。

For many internet users, a web browser application is what they interact with the most. Whether you are on a desktop or mobile (and regardless of the platform), you will always end up using the web browser.

You access cloud storage, banking services, social media, e-commerce platforms, and numerous other services through it.

Hence, it is crucial for you to pick a web browser that respects privacy, and provides you a secure web experience.

Here, let me highlight the best privacy-focused options that you can utilize in any device of your choice.

## LibreWolf

![screenshot of librewolf browser featuring itsfoss.com](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/librewolf.png)

[LibreWolf](https://librewolf.net) is a fork of Firefox with privacy enhancements out of the box.

It is not just Firefox with different configuration. LibreWolf get rids of all the telemetry, DRM protection, and adds various improvements to the security-side of things.

For instance, the browser deletes browsing and download history when you close it. However, you can always tweak this behavior and customize it to your liking following the [documentation](https://librewolf.net/docs/settings/).

Furthermore, you get [privacy-friendly search engines](https://itsfoss.com/privacy-search-engines/) like DuckDuckGo and Qwant. And, the uBlock Origin extension comes baked in by default.

Not just a private and secure experience, it also takes away some Firefox elements that some users may find distracting, like a cleaner new tab, and Firefox sync.

**Highlights:**

- A highly customized Firefox fork for privacy
- Customizations can be tweaked if needed
- Disables Firefox Sync by default
- Available for desktop platforms only (Linux, Windows, and macOS)

## Brave

![screenshot of brave browser featuring itsfoss.com](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/12/brave.png)

[Brave](https://brave.com/en-in/) is a popular option based on Chromium. It is known for providing a blazing fast user experience with web pages.

Brave features numerous privacy-centric settings, like the ability to sync browser data securely, without needing to create an account. The browser effectively blocks trackers to give you a private web experience.

You also get extras like the reward system (for opt-in ads) and crypto wallets.

While this is available cross-platform, the installation procedure for Linux systems is a bit different from others. You can refer to our guide for help:

It features many privacy protection features that include abilities to block trackers, and set a different DNS.

Firefox provides a unique user experience with useful integrations like VPN, email aliases, Pocket, and a Firefox account to sync all your browser data conveniently.

With Firefox, you can customize the user interface, and tweak the experience with a JavaScript file as well. If you would rather not use any Firefox fork but want to improve the privacy game, you can take a look at [arkenfox configuration](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js) on GitHub.

[Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/download/) is the best bet for a privacy-conscious user.

Considering it is based on Firefox, you get the same fundamental experience with tweaks to level-up the security and privacy.

Unlike LibreWolf, Tor Browser lets you utilize the [Tor network](https://itsfoss.com/tor-guide/), which could affect your web experience but gives a big privacy boost. You can browse [onion sites](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tor_onion_services) to fight against censorship, and keep things private at the same time.

Similar to Brave, Tor Browser can be a bit tricky to install on Linux systems. If you are a Linux user, you might want to follow our tutorial:

## Mullvad Browser

You can use any VPN service with Mullvad, if not their own. The browser includes extensions like uBlock Origin and NoScript by default to give you the private experience they aim for. Additionally, the browser does not support Firefox sync.

While you cannot remove the extensions, they do not recommend adding more.

- Available for desktop platforms only (Linux, Windows, and macOS)

## Wrapping Up

The web is evolving and with various things to take care of, it is convenient to rely on a browser that focuses on privacy.

Among the browsers mentioned above, Firefox and Brave are popular picks for most. However, if you want a little more strict protection and configurations in your browser, LibreWolf should suffice.

Of course, with specially tailored browsers like Tor Browser, LibreWolf, and Mullvad, you lose the flexibility of accessing it on mobile devices. So, you can choose a separate browser for your smartphone, or pick one that supports all your devices.
