Not really, the answer appears to be too subjective. All you can do is be aware of the options and pick one that best aligns with your needs/philosophy, ---

Yes, in todayā€™s world, itā€™s a matter of all opinions, even security. ---

You write well that this, like many things, is a matter of philosophy. ---

I think security and privacy are related but not the same thing entirely. Either way, privacy and security are both complicated multi-faceted topics with different approaches to achieve. Further, with either privacy and security, there is a factor of what are you trying to protect and what are you willing to sacrifice to achieve that protection. For example, there is a big difference between trying to block casual corporate data mining and trying to block government surveillance. The approaches you would take and the functionality you would need to give up are very different in those cases. ---

In short, I could put it that for me, interfering with my privacy is a security issue. Of course, I donā€™t think Iā€™m alone with that. ---

Very true. My journey back into Linux began with me buying this laptop to run QubesOS as Iā€™d been hearing so much about it. I ā€œplayedā€ with that for a few months and if my ā€œthreat vectorā€ warrantied it Iā€™d still be there. But my life isnā€™t that interesting, so Iā€™m able to compromise my privacy and security to the extent that Arch/EnOS is a far more enjoyable experience, and with a browser of my choosing and addons/pi-hole/vpn etc, I can get to level of privacy/security Iā€™m comfortable with day-to-day. ---

The fact is most browsers off the shelf for the average user is about privacy and corporate data mining and tracking for those purposes. Govt surveillance and security is in a whole other realm. It requires more than just a better browser! šŸ˜ ---

These days Firefox containers serve the purpose that I used to need browser isolation for. I can now use a single browser for most purposes. ---

Do you use the multi account containers? Edit: I enabled Firefox default containers. How do you know it works? ---

Firefox containers are great. > [@ricklinux](#): > > Edit: I enabled Firefox default containers. How do you know it works? You now have to create your own containers and open tabs in them. They will have a little coloured bar below the title, like this: ![image](https://forum.endeavouros.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/b/1b8e46cfc47572759ab111ec08eaba19445fc3fc.png) For example, I have a Google container, which is coloured red, where I log into a Google account I use (mostly for YouTube and Gmail which I use to create accounts on forums etc). Outside that container, I am not logged into the Google account, which is really nice. šŸ™‚ I also have a container which I use for eBay, PayPal and stuff like that, so that Iā€™m not logged into these ā€œservicesā€ when I donā€™t have to be. If I used Facebook, Iā€™d have a Facebook container, as well, but I donā€™t. ---
