I would normally say Firefox + uBlock Origin, but Firefox is beginning to get enshitified with AI garbage and data mining. Commonly recommended alternatives to Firefox are LibreWolf and WaterFox.

I would stay far away from Chrome and all other Chromium-based browsers. Google is getting a little too uppity with their need to control how websites are displayed and limit the end user's ability to have that same control. Fuck google.

I've already accepted the reality that there is no world in which my browsing and data is truly safe, private, and protected from harvesting and resale. As much as people want to try duckduckgo and spinoff browsers that claim to protect their data... it's just futile to think that either A.) they are actually protecting you, or B.) they aren't selling your shit anyways even though they claim not to be. (Or C.) - they actually are keeping your data private today, but will sell it at some point in the future when a big enough check is offered)

It's too much work. They have my data, they have yours, they have it all. Accepting that reality has made me sleep a lot easier.

I heard this doesn't work with youtube ads.

I admittedly am 1 for 1 so far. Not a big sample size obviously. But gamefaqs immediately went to its u-block levels of usability, which is a good start. The reddit ads are gone too.
