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?
If it doesn't affect the overall convenience of the user, it certainly doesn't hurt; and gives you peace of mind.
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.
Very nice. I'd be willing to guess some people have been reading Michael Bazzell lately.
Well I've been doing it for years and have no idea who Bazzell is ¯_(ツ)_/¯
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.
