Firefox would be my choice.

No issues.

14. Also the Duck Email Protection, and the Privacy Essentials browser plugin

are other great privacy and anti-tracking features that DuckDuckGo provides.

3. Firefox is my browser

and Duck Duck Go is my search engine. Both work great for me.

4. Thanks

8. Brave browser

You can turn off / customize the data it collects.

Duck-duck-Go search engine

Any mail but G-mail

OR

Firefox browser with extensions: NoScript, TamperMonkey and UBlock Origin. (the last two have capabilities to block YouTube advertising) A small learining curve, but once you have set up your preferred way of browsing, you can back up your settings.

No script also allows you to block all signs of Twitter, Facebook, Amazon from your browser.

There's new stuff coming out every day; many people are really keen to rid their lives of these digital parasites.

10. Safari is good. I have to use chrome also for other reasons.

12. There's a whole subreddit on this topic

13. Agree with others

Firefox and Duck Duck Go are the safest way to go.

Sometimes I am forced to use Chrome but I try to avoid it if I can.

I don't blame you one bit btw!

Best of luck to you.

15. Thank You!!

Thanks to you all who responded. I appreciate your input. I'm the Unfrozen Caveman and Tech is truly Magic and Mystery to me. I'm due to finally have some funds to replace my computer and other gear. Children born when I booted this one up the first time are likely headed to high school soon, and my IT friend has gone on to return his Elements to The Void. So... seeking advice and tips, and likely becoming tiresome to my lovely friends. Thanks Again.
