DuckDuckGo

If you're worried about your privacy, DuckDuckGo is a great choice. The privacy essentials extension blocks third-party tracking cookies and trackers from building users' profiles. You can also choose to whitelist sites, and DuckDuckGo comes with a Privacy Dashboard that shows you how well a site protects your privacy. You can even select to whitelist sites for which DuckDuckGo doesn't track you.

This browser also works with Safari, so users can use it as their default search engine. It is incredibly lightweight but does provide some features that users may not appreciate. Users won't be able to see their complete browsing history or install sites as apps, but these features aren't crucial for a privacy-conscious user. You'll also be able to browse your web history with DuckDuckGo, but don't expect to be able to use your bookmarks bar or other useful tools. But if you want to save your privacy, it's worth checking out.
