Choose your browser carefully

Privacy on the Internet is important because privacy risks range from the gathering of statistics on users to more malicious acts such as the spreading of spyware and the exploitation of various forms of bugs (software faults). Many companies, such as Google, track which websites people visit and then use the information, for instance by sending advertising based on one's web browsing history. Sometimes prices on products are changed on the same website, depending on tracking information, and two people may view the exact same product on the exact same website yet be presented with very different prices.

Information 2020-10-20: This article was originally called "Mozilla is becoming evil - be careful with Firefox" and it was mainly about Firefox, but since this issue is so important and is also very relevant to other browsers, such as Google Chrome, Google Chromium (the Open Source version of Chrome) and Brave, I have changed the name of the article and rewritten the article with relevant information about other browsers as well.
