- **Google Chrome** - Owned by google and built upon the open-source Chromium project (also Google-owned). It comes with many privacy-invasive features, it is connected to your Google account most times. It is under [Google's privacy policy](https://tosdr.org/en/service/217) which is known to be very bad. Google is willing to enforce the [Manifest v3](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-manifest-v3-deceitful-and-threatening) which is outright harmful to privacy efforts.
|
||||||
|
- **Microsoft Edge** - It's a Microsoft-themed version of Chromium with Microsoft trackers instead of Google ones. Under [Microsoft's privacy policy](https://tosdr.org/en/service/244), which is also very bad. If you still want to use it, you can [follow this guide](https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.html#edge-19) to harden it a bit.

|
- **Opera** - Opera was [acquired by a consortium of Chinese investors](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_(web_browser)#Acquisition_by_Chinese_consortium). The app has [many trackers](https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/de/reports/com.opera.browser/latest/).

You can follow this [Hitchhiker’s Guide to Online Anonymity](https://anonymousplanet.org/guide.html#appendix-v1-hardening-your-browsers) section to do it. Please, if you don't understand what you are doing, don't do it as you may be causing more harm than good to your privacy.
