Opera in private mode, using DuckDuckGo as your search engine.

I use Startpage myself. Just put Opera on my Zorin Linux. How do I get to private browsing? The interface looks limited.

if you value you privacy stop using search engines, or the internet for that matter. Go read your ISP ToS, you will be very scared.

How about SRWare Iron? They seem pretty determined.

But indeed, tracking methods get quite ingenious these days.

in particular, notice all the about:config tweaks that they say make FF and FF-like browsers more private. Not saying you will have complete privacy, but you may be interested anyway.

Privacy?

Well, I personally don't give a darn about my privacy. Google/Facebook/etc. could know my whole life and I couldn't care less; if I wanted them in the dark I wouldn't visit their websites. [the gov't is different though as they have claimed the power to snoop without me doing anything...but I still don't care about that, either, except on principle.]

I would assume using a DOS browser would be pretty private, right? Or not? 🤣

They could still track you using the methods in the article I noted above. In fact, a user with a DOS browser would be so conspicuous you'd stand out prominently in anyone's server logs.

Change of a user agent would fix that? No?
