== Open Source Browsers ==
Browsers such as Google's '''Chromium''' (the upstream for Chrome) or Mozilla Foundation's '''[https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/products/ FireFox]''' are open source. They offer much better features, privacy and control compared with the proprietary browsers. Since the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit corporation for the public benefit, FireFox is arguably the best choice for consumers. FireFox offers an extension called '[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lightbeam/ Lightbeam]' which will show you how web beacons, cookies and 3rd-party content or sites create the web that you don't see. See the Ted Talk https://www.ted.com/talks/gary_kovacs_tracking_the_trackers and this demo: {{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvqGy9wz_wA|right}}
