Tor Browser, because my threat model is passive surveillance capitalism so anti-tracking is important.

Else, Firefox (vanilla).

Isn't tor overkill for dealing with companies?

[–] comfy@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For me, companies includes Cloudflare, Google, Amazon and Meta, and my primary goal is anonymity to them (rather than security). So no, Tor and Tor Browser is not overkill for these companies.

Privacy pioneer of sorts. He’s my go-to for a lot when it comes to privacy. Highly recommend checking out his books, and podcast too, if you're interested.
