I use:
VPN so constantly changing ip.
Tor browser for everyday browsing (has no script preinstalled). So onion provides double Vpn. Regularly closed down so history cleared.
Safari in private mode and lockdown mode for when tor won't work (tor ip blocked/hd video that is too slow to stream on tor). Safari Isolation in private mode is excellent, you can use two tabs with, say emails, and neither will know other is logged in.
Safari non private for sites I want available and in sync across devices.
Firefox in permanent private mode with ublock origin for when safari lockdown mode causes issues. (Bizarely Firefox containers doesn't work in private so no isolation across tabs).
Chromium for logged into Google stuff.
Chrome for web development.
Plus opt out for everything possible inc targeted ads.
I rarely see ads of anything I would want to buy, and VPN blocks most of it at its DNS.
Beyond that, anything else would be too much effort for me.
The advertising companies I'm sure know I am not susceptible to impulse buy on ads, I research and seek vfm so not really their target.
> Tor browser for everyday browsing
Do you just... log back in to Hacker News every day?
I downloaded the Mullvad browser (basically Tor without the onion protocol part) but having no way to save passwords ended up making it unusable for me
What platform do you use that doesn't allow for password managers? A browser's password manager is not the ideal for security, apparently (I would like to know how generally true this is, of course saving them on Google or Microsoft is as good as idea as it sounds)
As said, use a password manager.
Also regularly export your passwords from your password manager, either to another password manager or encrypt and store.So if the password manager has issues it won't leave you stuck.
