🛡️ Not all browsers are created equal — especially when it comes to online privacy.

Most users think a VPN is enough. It’s not.

Browsers can leak your real IP, device fingerprint, and other metadata — even with a VPN enabled.

🧪 What We Tested

At WhoerIP.com, we ran controlled browser tests to check for:

• WebRTC leaks (IP exposure)
• Canvas fingerprinting
• Tracker blocking
• Default privacy configuration

🌐 Browsers in the Test

We tested the following browsers on Ubuntu 22.04 and Windows 11 behind a VPN (WireGuard):

• Google Chrome (stable)
• Mozilla Firefox (default + hardened)
• Brave (out of the box)
• LibreWolf (a hardened Firefox fork)
• Tor Browser

📊 Test Results

* Firefox needs manual configuration to block WebRTC and fingerprinting.

🛠️ How to Harden Firefox

If you prefer Firefox, here are two must-change settings:

1. Disable WebRTC

Open about:config and set:

media.peerconnection.enabled = false

2. Enable Anti-Fingerprinting

privacy.resistFingerprinting = true

Or just use LibreWolf — it’s Firefox with better defaults.

🔍 Test Your Own Browser

Want to check what your browser reveals?

👉 Run a full privacy test at WhoerIP.com

It will detect:

• Real vs VPN IP address
• DNS leaks
• WebRTC exposure
• Canvas, fonts, language fingerprinting

No installs, no registration, works in any browser.

💬 Conclusion

There is no single perfect browser, but some are far better than others:

• 🥇 Tor for maximum anonymity
• 🥈 LibreWolf and Brave for everyday privacy
• ❌ Chrome if you value your data — just don’t

It goes far beyond "use Brave or Tor" advice.

In this article, we break down real privacy and security features by category:

🔐 1. Data Isolation & Anti-Tracking

• Blocking third-party cookies and trackers
• Partitioning or isolating storage (cookies, localStorage, cache, IndexedDB)
• Blocking ad and analytics scripts

🔒 2. Secure Connections

• Enforcing HTTPS connections
• Warning about insecure (HTTP) sites
• Preventing IP address leaks

🕵️ 3. Fingerprinting Protection

• Hiding unique device/browser parameters
• Restricting access to system fonts, screen size, and other identifying APIs

🧹 4. Data Cleanup

• Automatically deleting history, cookies, and site data after each session
• Private/incognito browsing modes

✂️ 5. Stripping Tracking Parameters

• Removing tracking tags like gclid, fbclid, utm_*, and others from URLs

✅ Bottom line

A secure browser should:

• Block trackers
• Isolate site data
• Enforce HTTPS
• Resist fingerprinting
• Clean up your traces automatically
