**[Librewolf](https://librewolf-community.gitlab.io/)** | Librewolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox
**[Brave Browser](https://brave.com/?ref=ali721)** | Brave Browser, currently one of the most popular private browsers- it provides speed, security, and privacy by blocking trackers with a clean, yet fully-featured UI. It also pays you in [BAT tokens](https://basicattentiontoken.org/) for using it. Brave also has Tor built-in, when you open up a private tab/ window.
**[FireFox](https://www.mozilla.org/firefox)** | Significantly more private, and offers some nifty privacy features than Chrome, Internet Explorer and Safari. After installing, there are a couple of small tweaks you will need to make, in order to secure Firefox. You can follow one of these guides by: [Restore Privacy](https://restoreprivacy.com/firefox-privacy/), [Security Gladiators](https://securitygladiators.com/firefox-privacy-tips/) or [12Bytes](https://12bytes.org/7750)
**[Tor Browser](https://www.torproject.org/)** | Tor provides an extra layer of anonymity, by encrypting each of your requests, then routing it through several nodes, making it near-impossible for you to be tracked by your ISP/ provider. It does make every-day browsing a little slower, and some sites may not work correctly. As with everything there are [trade-offs](https://github.com/Lissy93/personal-security-checklist/issues/19)

New vulnerabilities are being discovered and patched all the time - use a browser that is being actively maintained, in order to receive these security-critical updates.
@ -263,7 +265,7 @@ The below email providers are private, end-to-end encrypted (E2EE) and reasonabl
**[ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com/)** | An open-source, end-to-end encrypted anonymous email service. ProtonMail has a modern easy-to-use and customizable UI, as well as fast, secure native mobile apps. ProtonMail has all the features that you'd expect from a modern email service and is based on simplicity without sacrificing security. It has a free plan or a premium option for using custom domains (starting at $5/month). ProtonMail requires no personally identifiable information for signup, they have a [.onion](https://protonirockerxow.onion) server, for access via Tor, and they accept anonymous payment: BTC and cash (as well as the normal credit card and PayPal).
**[Tutanota](https://tutanota.com/)** | Free and open source email service based in Germany. It has a basic intuitive UI, secure native mobile apps, anonymous signup, and a .onion site. Tutonota has a full-featured free plan or a premium subscription for businesses allowing for custom domains ($12/ month).<br>Tutanota [does not use OpenPGP](https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/differences-email-encryption/) like most encrypted mail providers, instead they use a standardized, hybrid method consisting of a symmetrical and an asymmetrical algorithm (with 128 bit AES, and 2048 bit RSA). This causes compatibility issues when communicating with contacts using PGP. But it does allow them to encrypt much more of the header data (body, attachments, subject lines, and sender names etc) which PGP mail providers cannot do
**[Mailfence](https://mailfence.com?src=digitald)** | Mailfence supports OpenPGP so that you can manually exchange encryption keys independently from the Mailfence servers, putting you in full control. Mailfence has a simple UI, similar to that of Outlook, and it comes with bundled with calendar, address book, and files. All mail settings are highly customizable, yet still clear and easy to use. Sign up is not anonymous, since your name, and prior email address is required. There is a fully-featured free plan, or you can pay for premium, and use a custom domain ($2.50/ month, or $7.50/ month for 5 domains), where BitCoin, LiteCoin or credit card is accepted
**[CTemplar](https://ctemplar.com/)** | Iclandic provider specializing in private & secure mail, with total 4096 bit RSA encryption, fully anonymous sign up, and full legal protection
**[CTemplar](https://ctemplar.com/)** | Iclandic provider specializing in private & secure mail, with total 4096 bit RSA encryption, fully anonymous sign up, and full legal protection, anonymous crypto payment option
**[MailBox.org](https://mailbox.org/)** | A Berlin-based, eco-friendly secure mail provider. There is no free plan, the standard service costs €12/year. You can use your own domain, with the option of a [catch-all alias](https://kb.mailbox.org/display/MBOKBEN/Using+catch-all+alias+with+own+domain). They provide good account security and email encryption, with OpenPGP, as well as encrypted storage. There is no dedicated app, but it works well with any standard mail client with SSL. There's also currently no anonymous payment option
