I installed brave to test it out and it blocked ads which was cool. But then it has Tor browser and duck duck go search. I’m confused as to what these all do and how to use them.
Edit : thank you all for your explanations !!
In: Technology
Brave is a browser (like Chrome or Firefox) which explicitly doesn’t track your usage, and disables many of the tracking technology used by web services like Google, Facebook etc
TOR is a basically that thing you see on hacker movies, it bounces your internet connection all over the world to make it harder to trace (functionally equivalent to a VPN for most users)
DDG is a search engine like Google or Bing -. Which explicitly doesn’t track information about your searches
When you use them all together, the myriad systems which track and collect data on your internet usage for marketing purposes are greatly curtailed, thus providing you better online privacy
