evergreen Browser Recommendations These are our current web browser recommendations and settings you can use to preserve your privacy. We recommend keeping extensions to a minimum: they have privileged access within your browser, require you to trust the developer, can make you [stand out](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint#Browser_fingerprint), and [weaken](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/0ei-UCHNm34/m/lDaXwQhzBAAJ) site isolation.

General Recommendations

{% for item_hash in site.data.software.browsers %} {% assign item = item_hash[1] %}

{% if item.type == "Recommendation" %} {% include recommendation-card.html %} {% endif %}

{% endfor %}

Desktop Browser Recommendations

{% for item_hash in site.data.software.browsers-desktop %} {% assign item = item_hash[1] %}

{% if item.type == "Recommendation" %} {% include recommendation-card.html %} {% endif %}

{% endfor %}

Mobile Browser Recommendations

On Android, Mozilla's engine GeckoView has yet to support site isolation or enable isolatedProcess. Firefox Android also doesn't yet have HTTPS-Only mode built-in. These features are supported in Bromite as it uses Chromium WebView which is included in all Android operating systems. We do not recommend Firefox or any Gecko based browsers at this time.

On iOS all web browsers use the WebKit browser engine, including Firefox. However, Firefox includes a few extra features like Tracking Protection and the ability to add search engines.
