6. Just started using the Brave browser

Here is a link to the Brave Browser site that explains its features:

I changed the settings so my default search is DuckDuckGo and my homepage is Brave Browser page. In the drop down menu in the upper right, I have the option to open up private windows with TOR.

"What is a Private Window with Tor?

When you are inside a Private Window with Tor, Brave doesn’t connect directly to a website like normal. Instead, you connect to a chain of three different computers in the volunteer-run Tor network, one after another, and only then to the website you’re visiting. Between those three Tor computers, only one knows where your connection is really coming from and only one knows where it’s really going. And those two don’t even talk to each other because there’s another computer in the middle!"

One may download and use the TOR browser which I might do sometime soon,
