Which browser, and what else, if you want fewer tracks

A browser is a product with a business model

Chrome is excellent software tied to an advertising company. Edge is tied to Microsoft's graph. Safari is tighter on third-party cookies and still sits inside Apple's identity world. Firefox and Brave leak less by default because they are not funded by knowing who you are.

For work, pick one browser that is not your everyday login browser. Turn off third-party cookies. Block trackers. Do not install random extensions - they read every page. That single habit beats most 'privacy' subscriptions.

Settings that actually matter

Disable unnecessary location, camera and notification prompts. Use a password manager rather than the browser's sync if the account is shared with a consumer identity. Separate work profiles. Clear site data on close for anything that handles case files.

DNS filtering and an ad blocker reduce the number of companies that see the request. They do not make you invisible. They make the haystack smaller.

What this does not replace

A careful browser will not save a team that pastes client data into a web form. Identity, classification and a named owner still do the heavy work. We treat the browser as one control among many, not a personality test.
