by Carolyn Mason

This browser has literally everything you could need—for free—all in one. The privacy modes are fantastic and highly adjustable, and the built in VPN makes it not only "private," but safe too. I finally feel comfortable working on anything from my writing to my taxes in the coffee shop! More
by Mildred Morris
Epic is a good privacy browser, but I'd say there are better options available. Epic handles privacy well but doesn't offer what most of the mainstream browsers offer to me for the rest of the browsing experience. Many of them now offer privacy browsers and I'd look into one of those first. More

Privacy is a must, so whoever put this here, TYSM for finding this for me and putting it here for me to use :D

In fairness, Quantum works pretty smooth. My developer friend recommended this to me due to privacy settings.

HTTPS Everywhere is a secure and private web browser for windows. Worried about security, this secures any website you use no matter what is involved with the website. Added layer of security is never a bad thing. More
by Michael Kennedy
I helped a friend set up this browser on his PC because I believe this browser is a safe browser to protect our prviacy. Very good browser indeed.

Mozilla Firefox looks outdated to some but I still use it from time to time. Since this is a private browser for Windows, I use this whenever I'm checking a sensitive information online such as business documents.

In Russia, engine search you! Ha ha, I couldn't resist. I use Yandex mostly for finding Russian bridges. I don't actually order them, because I think that might be illegal in my country. I just look at their pictures... sometimes for quite awhile. More
by William Stephens
When it comes to private browsers, I always use Yandex. Very easy to use.

Who wouldn't this browser? It blocks the ads and even has a bank mode. Now I felt secure when I'm checking my bank details. 😉
DID YOU KNOW?
Simple mainstream web browsers already existed as early as the 1990s? If we talk the best ones at the time, it would be Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. The former was one of the most popular web browsers in the market during those times for quite some time. Microsoft's own web browser called Internet Explorer changed the landscape when it came. A big reason for this was that it came built-in with the company's Windows operating system. Internet Explorer took major market share and dominated Netscape Navigator. The company decided to make it source code open-source and handed it over to another company. That was the non-profit entity, Mozilla Foundation.
The Mozilla Firefox web browser was born back in 2004. Together with Internet Explorer, they were two of the most popular web browsers at the time. Well, that was until Google released its Chrome web browser. The rest is, as they say, history. To this day, Google Chrome is one of the best web browsers for most users due to its speed and ease of use. That doesn't mean that there aren't other web browsers around. Web browsers that had specific use cases like private browsers were also popular. Net Neutrality has become a major concern in recent years. These browsers are what people need right now. Private browsers for Windows are plenty. Some are bare-bones are you'll get while others try to include some nice extras.
