How browser privacy actually works

Plain-English explainers on the concepts behind every privacy decision a modern browser makes. No marketing speak, no jargon, but the technical names are there so you can search for them too.

  1. Is incognito mode actually private? What incognito does and doesn't hide. (Spoiler: less than most people think.)
  2. What is browser fingerprinting? How websites build a unique ID for your computer without using cookies.
  3. What are third-party cookies? How cookies became surveillance, and what's replacing them.
  4. Why "Do Not Track" doesn't work The polite request the entire ad industry agreed to ignore.
  5. What is encrypted DNS? Why your ISP normally sees every site you visit, and how DNS-over-HTTPS fixes that.
  6. What is a WebRTC IP leak? Why your browser can leak your real IP through video-call protocols even on a VPN.
  7. What is Manifest V3? Chrome's new extension rules and why uBlock Origin's full version no longer works there.
  8. What is Schrems II? The 2020 EU court ruling that made sending personal data to US services legally risky.
  9. What is the CLOUD Act? The US law that lets US agencies require American companies to hand over user data.
  10. What is the Digital Markets Act? The EU law forcing Apple to allow alternative browser engines on iOS.

Want a browser that handles all of this for you by default?
