When it comes to most secure browsers Firefox and its LibreWolf fork is the best alternative to Chrome on our list - and, no, incognito mode doesn't cut it.

@Tutanota what do you think of the @Vivaldi browser? Admittedly, it also uses the Chromium engine but they seem dedicated to making it private

@jda @Tutanota @Vivaldi

If I could chime in for just a sec. Personally, I think #Vivaldi is a sleek and easy-to-use web browser. However, the fact that they came from a project that was started by #Google makes me wary of them. That's not to say I don't recommend using them, it's just that at this point I don't believe that there's any browser out there that makes me feel 100% secure (and that includes #Firefox , which is what I use).

@ina @Tutanota @Vivaldi do you mean because they use the Chromium engine? It is a little scary honestly but they're very open about the project and I'm hoping they keep an eye on backdoors

@jda @Tutanota @Vivaldi

Yes, exactly. It's not them specifically, just Google and anything that comes from them. They've been proven to not be trustworthy, time and time again, but like I said I don't trust anyone nowadays. But Vivaldi is a good browser, not hard to use at all.
