- Firefox: An open-source browser developed by Mozilla, often the default on many Linux distributions.
- Ghostery Private Browser: A secure browser based on Firefox, emphasizing privacy, anti-trackimg and ad-blocking features.

Is Linux truly private?
Linux is quite private compared to many operating systems, primarily due to its open-source nature. Its source code is publicly available, allowing for community audits and ensuring there are no hidden backdoors or undisclosed data collection mechanisms. Linux offers users greater control over their systems, including privacy settings and the ability to install only trusted applications.
Most Linux distributions do not include telemetry or data collection by default. Privacy-focused distributions like Tails and Qubes OS emphasize minimal data leakage. Users can enhance privacy through customization, employing tools like firewalls, encryption, and secure communication.
However, privacy levels can vary based on the distribution and user configuration. Some distributions might include optional telemetry or third-party software. Using proprietary software or poor online behavior can also affect privacy. Ultimately, while Linux provides a strong foundation for privacy, the specific distribution and user practices determine the overall level of privacy.
