The most dangerous and the most secure browser

For many people, the Internet has already become an integral part of life: it is the source of information needed every day, and a means of communication with friends and acquaintances, and an indispensable tool for work. Everyone searches the global network for what he needs, but all of this requires browsers. I want to use the most secure browser, of course. But which one is worthy of this high rank?

Browsers "grow", evolve - become more reliable, easier and more convenient to use, work faster. At the same time, they transmit to the servers of the developers certain information, perhaps, necessary for the improvement of the program, and perhaps also superfluous and simply personal, not intended for prying eyes. Therefore, the most secure browser should not only be the least vulnerable, but also spy on the user as little as possible.

Internet Explorer is one of the least vulnerable browsers. But even during the installation phase, it sends information about its use to the server of the corporation, and then - data about how many times the program is started. And this is nothing, but also the creators of IE are interested in information about the processor, hard disk and computer RAM, the extension of programs, as well as the encrypted code to identify the PC. And even if you know that the browser has this "statistic function" enabled by default, you can not turn it off.
Google Chrome is a browser that does not lag behind and also informs its creators about many things. He is interested in the addresses of web pages, the version number of the browser, search requests, unidentified addresses, as well as the version of DirectX and the Windows operating system installed on the PC, and other Google programs on it, and his servers can store IP addresses Users. That is, everything is available to the company, starting with the closed information on the VKontakte page and ending with the Internet banking data. This is hardly the most secure browser. He "calls home" constantly, and you can only switch off the transfer of personal data in part.

Mozilla Firefox also broadcasts information to developers, but in small numbers. When this program crashes, it collects the necessary information about the problem for the company and makes up the Crash Report, which lists the website that the crash was linked to and the number that allows it to identify the computer. Crash Report describes the hardware of the PC, and also reports on which version of Windows it is installed on. All this does not happen "behind the back" of the user, but on the contrary: that the Crash Report created by the program went to the developers, you need to express your consent by pressing the mouse button, or you can refuse and do not send it. You can also view it before sending it, although its content is understandable and useful only for an experienced user. So this is probably the most secure browser in terms of the preservation of personal data. On the other hand, from the point of view of vulnerability, it is one of the most "leaky".

Of course, even a secure browser can not completely protect your computer from viruses, attacks and all sorts of unwanted injections: only the reliable and uninterrupted antivirus saves them from them.
