- Firefox is preferred for privacy due to Mozilla's nonprofit status and open-source commitment.
- Basic privacy settings include changing the default search engine to DuckDuckGo and enabling HTTPS-Only Mode.
- Disable telemetry and set Enhanced Tracking Protection to Strict for better privacy.
- Recommended extensions: uBlock Origin, ClearURLs, and Privacy Badger for blocking ads and trackers.
- Advanced configuration involves isolating cookies to the first-party domain and resisting fingerprinting, though the latter may cause site issues.
