Firefox and which browser do you likeYou're welcome!Yes, Firefox is open-source, which means its code is publicly available for anyone to inspect, contribute to, or verify—great for transparency and trust.
As for tracker blocking, Firefox enables Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) by default. It blocks many types of trackers and third-party cookies right out of the box, so no extra steps are needed. If you want more control, you can customize it in the settings under Privacy & Security.
Other browsers are catching up with similar features. For instance, Brave is privacy-focused by design and blocks trackers by default too. Even Microsoft Edge and Safari have introduced tracker-blocking capabilities recently. But Firefox stands out because it's independent (not backed by ad companies) and fully customizable.
Glad I culd share some Firefox love!
Chrome's the speedster, and Edge is the stealthy ninja with some privacy perks

Instructor Toolbox Poll: What Browser?
Over several months in 2024 I will be conducting a series of polls of the CompTIA Instructor Network (CIN) Community. Participation is completely voluntary and based on the assumption that respondents are Instructors (i.e. members of CIN). My goal in conducting these polls is to compile data...

yes, Brave is a browser.
I thought Mr. S was kidding when he posed the question about Duck-Duck-Go. So there really is something called Duck-Duck-Go, in the IT space?
You have made me to reread that comment multiple times, the incognito mode you wish Google had
Huh? I don't get it!!!!!
Your statement "I thought Mr. S was kidding when he posed the question about Duck-Duck-Go" - You have made me to reread that comment multiple times- I thought he intentionally misspelled "Duck-Duck-Go" just fond out the name has just - in betweet
the incognito mode you wish Google had-I meant to say that it's similar to browsing in stealth mode, but this time there are no restrictions. The "incognito" feature of Google is more akin to "we'll just hide the search history from you!"
I don't do the incognito feature with Google, so that will explain my ignorance about your comments.
So, what do I get from using this stealth mode? What is it shielding me from? I'm not understanding why this feature isn't broadcasted somewhere everyday - if it does provide some "real" security value!!!!
I don't do the incognito feature with Google- private tab while using Google search engine
As for why isn't broadcasted somewhere everyday—well, it's like the secret agent of the internet world. Privacy isn’t the flashy marketing trend, but if you value it, DuckDuckGo gets your back.
The advantage? It stops businesses from monitoring your every online activity and showing you advertisements based on your search patterns. You won't be followed by spooky advertisements, and your information is kept confidential. The reason it's not as popular isn't because it's not as valuable as targeted advertisements—privacy is a bit of a niche! For those who appreciate not being "followed" on the internet, it's a fantastic option.
You've made some excellent points in your reply! Thank you precious!!!
