Top 5 Private Browsers For Your Windows PC in 2022

The reason to use a private browser, all browsing history, search history, and cookies get automatically erased. A private browser also limits web tracking — meaning, websites have trouble keeping tabs on you. Some private browsers even help hide your location. Here are my top 5 browsers for privacy that I have ever installed and used in 2021 and 2022. I select them, especially in terms of privacy, lightweight, and features. The following list is a ranking order based on my personal experience. What do you think about your pros and cons?
