A browser can only do so much about privacy, since most of the privacy-violations actually happen on the websites' end. With this in mind, e.g. Firefox is perfectly adequate; it does have plenty of features that attempt to do what they can to protect your privacy on the browser's end.

Brave has really good anti-tracking inbuilt.

Using the private windows with tor will also improve privacy.

Using duckduckgo as your primary search engine instead of google will also improve privacy.

I will recommend an NHu12s (or an NHd15 (maybe)) for your PC build. Quote or @ me @Prodigy_Smit for me to see your replies.

If you're logging into websites and browsing the web as usual, using Tor is pointless. Tor doesn't magically protect your privacy, it doesn't prevent companies from tracking you, if you go and make yourself trackable by logging in to stuff!

Yes agreed I am just trying to have something that if I do some searches on duckduckgo they don't get tracked

For privacy, I use NetSurf and/or w3m. The only problem is that their JavaScript support is not quite good, so if you absolutely require JavaScript, you might lose here.

Still, disabling JavaScript protects your privacy better than anything else could in the web.

Write in C.

TOR browser is the best. It connects you to the TOR network hides your IP.
