<small>Protects against the following threat(s):</small>

- [:material-account-cash: 감시 자본주의(Surveillance Capitalism)](basics/common-threats.md#surveillance-as-a-business-model ""){.pg-brown}

These are our currently recommended **desktop web browsers** and configurations for standard/non-anonymous browsing. 강력한 프라이버시 보호 및 핑거프린팅 방지가 기본 제공되는 브라우저를 원하신다면 [Mullvad Browser](#mullvad-browser)를, 평범한 인터넷 브라우저 중 Google Chrome의 적절한 대체제를 원하신다면 [Firefox](#firefox)를, Chromium 브라우저 호환성이 필요하시다면 [Brave](#brave)를 추천드립니다.

익명으로 인터넷을 탐색해야 하는 경우라면, [Tor](tor.md)를 사용해야 합니다. 본 내용에서 몇 가지 권장 설정을 알려드리고 있지만, Tor 브라우저를 제외한 모든 브라우저는 *누군가* 어떻게든 추적할 수 있습니다.

## Mullvad Browser

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Mullvad Browser logo](assets/img/browsers/mullvad_browser.svg){ align=right }

**Mullvad Browser** is a version of [Tor Browser](tor.md#tor-browser) with Tor network integrations removed. It aims to provide to VPN users Tor Browser's anti-fingerprinting browser technologies, which are key protections against [:material-eye-outline: Mass Surveillance](basics/common-threats.md#mass-surveillance-programs){ .pg-blue }. Tor 프로젝트에서 개발하고 [Mullvad](vpn.md#mullvad)에서 배포합니다. Mullvad VPN 사용이 필수적이지 **않습니다**.

</div>

Like [Tor Browser](tor.md), Mullvad Browser is designed to prevent fingerprinting by making your browser fingerprint identical to all other Mullvad Browser users, and it includes default settings and extensions that are automatically configured by the default security levels: *Standard*, *Safer* and *Safest*.

Therefore, it is imperative that you do not modify the browser at all outside adjusting the default [security levels](https://tb-manual.torproject.org/security-settings). When adjusting the security level, you **must** always restart the browser before continuing to use it. Otherwise, [the security settings may not be fully applied](https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/05/02/tor-security-slider-flaw), putting you at a higher risk of fingerprinting and exploits than you may expect based on the setting chosen.

Modifications other than adjusting this setting would make your fingerprint unique, defeating the purpose of using this browser. 만약 핑거프린팅을 신경 쓰지 않고 자유로운 브라우저 설정을 원하실 경우, [Firefox](#firefox)를 추천드립니다.

### 핑거프린팅 방지

**Without** using a [VPN](vpn.md), Mullvad Browser provides protections against [naive fingerprinting scripts](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.3-Overrides-%5BTo-RFP-or-Not%5D#-fingerprinting) similar to other private browsers like Firefox+[Arkenfox](#arkenfox-advanced) or [Brave](#brave). Mullvad 브라우저는 다른 비공개 탐색 브라우저에서 제공하는 유연성과 편의성을 일부 희생하여, 별도로 설정할 필요 없이 핑거프린트 보호 기능을 기본으로 제공합니다.

==가장 강력한 핑거프린팅 방지 보호를 원하시는 경우, **Mullvad 브라우저와 VPN을 같이 사용**하실 것을 권장합니다.==(Mullvad VPN 혹은 그 외 권장 VPN 서비스) Mullvad 브라우저와 VPN을 사용하면 핑거프린트, IP 주소 대역을 다른 많은 사용자와 공유하여 '군중' 사이에 섞일 수 있습니다. 이 전략은 고급 추적 스크립트를 막을 수 있는 유일한 방법이자, Tor 브라우저에서 사용하는 것과 동일한 핑거프린트 방지 기술이기도 합니다.

Note that while you can use Mullvad Browser with any VPN provider, other people on that VPN must also be using Mullvad Browser for this "crowd" to exist, something which is more likely on Mullvad VPN compared to other providers. Mullvad 브라우저는 VPN 연결 기능을 내장하고 있지 않으며, 브라우저 이용에 앞서 VPN 사용 여부를 확인하는 기능 또한 없습니다. 사용자는 VPN 연결을 따로 설정하고 관리해야 합니다.

Mullvad 브라우저는 *uBlock Origin*, *NoScript* 브라우저 확장 프로그램이 기본 설치되어 있습니다. While we typically discourage adding *additional* [browser extensions](browser-extensions.md), these extensions that come pre-installed with the browser should **not** be removed or configured outside their default values, because doing so would noticeably make your browser fingerprint distinct from other Mullvad Browser users. It also comes pre-installed with the Mullvad Browser Extension, which *can* be safely removed without [impacting](https://mullvad.net/en/help/tag/mullvad-browser#112) your browser fingerprint if you would like, but is also safe to keep even if you don't use Mullvad VPN.

### 사생활 보호 모드

Mullvad 브라우저는 항상 사생활 보호 모드로 작동하므로 방문 기록, 쿠키, 기타 사이트 데이터는 브라우저를 닫을 때마다 매번 지워집니다. 북마크, 브라우저 설정, 확장 프로그램 설정은 유지됩니다.

이는 고급 추적을 방지하기 위해서 필요하지만, 편의성 및 일부 Firefox 기능(멀티 컨테이너 등)을 희생합니다. 하지만 여러분은 여러 브라우저를 사용할 수 있습니다. 로그인이 유지되어야 하는 사이트나 Mullvad 브라우저에서 제대로 작동하지 않는 사이트는 Firefox+Arkenfox를 사용하고, 그 외 일반적인 브라우저 탐색에는 Mullvad 브라우저를 사용하는 방법도 있습니다.

## Firefox

<div class="admonition recommendation" markdown>

![Firefox 로고](assets/img/browsers/firefox.svg){ align=right }

**Firefox**는 [다양한 추적](https://support.mozilla.org/ko/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop#w_hyangsangdoen-cujeog-bangji-gineungi-cadanhaneun-geos)을 방지하는 [향상된 추적 방지 기능](https://support.mozilla.org/ko/kb/enhanced-tracking-protection-firefox-desktop) 등 강력한 프라이버시 설정을 제공합니다.

<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>

Firefox includes a unique [download token](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1677497#c0) in downloads from Mozilla's website and uses telemetry in Firefox to send the token. The token is **not** included in releases from the [Mozilla FTP](https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/).

</div>

### Recommended Firefox Configuration

These options can be found in :material-menu: → **Settings**.

#### 검색

-

Search suggestion features may not be available in your region.

Search suggestions send everything you type in the address bar to the default search engine, regardless of whether you submit an actual search. Disabling search suggestions allows you to more precisely control what data you send to your search engine provider.

##### Firefox Suggest

[Firefox Suggest](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-suggest) is a feature similar to search suggestions. We recommend disabling it for the same reason we recommend disabling search suggestions. If you don't see these options under the **Address Bar** header, you do not have the new experience and can ignore these changes.

- [ ] Uncheck **Suggestions from Firefox**
- [ ] **스폰서에서 제안** 비활성화

> According to Mozilla, ["Certain parts of Firefox Suggest are currently available only in some regions."](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-suggest)

#### 개인 정보 및 보안

##### 향상된 추적 방지 기능

- [x] 향상된 추적 방지 기능에서 **엄격** 활성화

This protects you by blocking social media trackers, fingerprinting scripts (note that this does not protect you from *all* fingerprinting), cryptominers, cross-site tracking cookies, and some other tracking content. ETP protects against many common threats, but it does not block all tracking avenues because it is designed to have minimal to no impact on site usability.

##### 종료 시 데이터 정리

If you want to stay logged in to particular sites, you can allow exceptions in **Cookies and Site Data** → **Manage Exceptions...**

- [x] **Firefox를 닫을 때 쿠키와 사이트 데이터를 삭제** 활성화

This protects you from persistent cookies, but does not protect you against cookies acquired during any one browsing session. When this is enabled, it becomes possible to easily cleanse your browser cookies by simply restarting Firefox. You can set exceptions on a per-site basis, if you wish to stay logged in to a particular site you visit often.

##### 원격 분석

- [ ] Uncheck **Send technical and interaction data to Mozilla**
- [ ] Uncheck **Allow personalized extension recommendations**
- [ ] Uncheck **Install and run studies**
- [ ] Uncheck **Send daily usage ping to Mozilla**
- [ ] Uncheck **Automatically send crash reports**

According to Mozilla's privacy policy for Firefox,

> Firefox는 사용자의 Firefox 버전 및 언어, 기기 운영 체제 및 하드웨어 구성, 메모리, 충돌 및 오류에 대한 기본 정보, 업테이트 및 세이프 브라우징 같은 자동화 프로세스의 결과, 활성화 여부 등의 데이터를 당사(Mozilla)로 전송합니다. Firefox가 당사에 데이터를 전송할 때 사용자의 IP 주소는 당사 서버 로그의 일부로 일시적으로 수집됩니다.

Additionally, the Mozilla Accounts service collects [some technical data](https://mozilla.org/privacy/mozilla-accounts). If you use a Mozilla Account you can opt out:

1. [accounts.firefox.com 프로필 설정](https://accounts.firefox.com/settings#data-collection) 열기
2. **데이터 수집 및 사용** > **Firefox 계정 개선에 참여** 비활성화

##### HTTPS-Only Mode

- [x] **모든 창에서 HTTPS 전용 모드 사용** 활성화

This prevents you from unintentionally connecting to a website in plain-text HTTP. Sites without HTTPS are uncommon nowadays, so this should have little to no impact on your day-to-day browsing.

##### DNS over HTTPS

If you use a [DNS over HTTPS provider](dns.md):

- [x] Select **Max Protection** and choose a suitable provider

Max Protection enforces the use of DNS over HTTPS, and a security warning will show if Firefox can’t connect to your secure DNS resolver, or if your secure DNS resolver says that records for the domain you are trying to access do not exist. This stops the network you're connected to from secretly downgrading your DNS security.

#### Sync

[Firefox Sync](https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/11/firefox-sync-privacy) allows your browsing data (history, bookmarks, etc.) to be accessible on all your devices and protects it with E2EE.

### Arkenfox (고급)

<div class="admonition tip" markdown>
<p class="admonition-title">Use Mullvad Browser for advanced anti-fingerprinting</p>

[Mullvad Browser](#mullvad-browser) provides stronger anti-fingerprinting protections out of the box than Firefox, and does not require the use of Mullvad's VPN to benefit from these protections. VPN을 함께 사용할 경우, Mullvad 브라우저는 Arkenfox가 차단하지 못하는 고급 추적 스크립트까지 차단할 수 있습니다. Firefox still has the advantage of being much more flexible, and allowing per-site exceptions for websites which you need to stay logged in to.

</div>

The [Arkenfox project](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js) provides a set of carefully considered options for Firefox. If you [decide](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/1.1-To-Arkenfox-or-Not) to use Arkenfox, a [few options](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.2-Overrides-%5BCommon%5D) are subjectively strict and/or may cause some websites to not work properly—which you can [easily change](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/3.1-Overrides) to suit your needs. We **strongly recommend** reading through their full [wiki](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki). Arkenfox also enables [container](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/containers#w_for-advanced-users) support.

Arkenfox only aims to thwart basic or naive tracking scripts through canvas randomization and Firefox's built-in fingerprint resistance configuration settings. It does not aim to make your browser blend in with a large crowd of other Arkenfox users in the same way Mullvad Browser or Tor Browser do, which is the only way to thwart advanced fingerprint tracking scripts. Remember that you can always use multiple browsers, for example, you could consider using Firefox+Arkenfox for a few sites that you want to stay logged in on or otherwise trust, and Mullvad Browser for general browsing.

## Brave

<div class="admonition recommendation annotate" markdown>

![Brave logo](assets/img/browsers/brave.svg){ align=right }

**Brave Browser** includes a built-in content blocker and [privacy features](https://brave.com/privacy-features), many of which are enabled by default.

Brace는 Chromium 웹 브라우저 프로젝트 기반으로 구축되었으므로, 친숙하며 웹사이트 호환성 문제가 적습니다.

</details>

</div>

<div class="admonition warning" markdown>
<p class="admonition-title">Warning</p>

Brave adds a "[referral code](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Brave%E2%80%99s-Use-of-Referral-Codes)" to the file name in downloads from the Brave website, which is used to track which source the browser was downloaded from, for example `BRV002` in a download named `Brave-Browser-BRV002.pkg`. The installer will then ping Brave's server with the referral code at the end of the installation process. If you're concerned about this, you can rename the installer file before opening it.

</div>

### Recommended Brave Configuration

These options can be found in :material-menu: → **Settings**.

#### Shields

Brave includes some anti-fingerprinting measures in its [Shields](https://support.brave.com/hc/articles/360022973471-What-is-Shields) feature. We suggest configuring these options [globally](https://support.brave.com/hc/articles/360023646212-How-do-I-configure-global-and-site-specific-Shields-settings) across all pages that you visit.

필요에 따라 사이트별로 보호 옵션을 낮출 수 있으나, 기본적으로 다음과 같이 설정할 것을 권장드립니다:

<div class="annotate" markdown>

- [x] Select **Aggressive** under *Trackers & ads blocking*

<details class="warning" markdown>
<summary>Use default filter lists</summary>

Brave allows you to select additional content filters within the internal `brave://adblock` page. 이 기능을 사용하지 말고 기본 필터 목록을 유지할 것을 권장드립니다. 추가적인 목록을 사용하면 다른 Brave 사용자에 비해 더 눈에 띄게 되며, 만약 Brave에 취약점이 존재하고 여러분이 사용하는 규칙 목록에 악성 규칙이 포함될 경우 공격 표면을 증가시킬 수도 있습니다.

</details>

- [x] Select **Strict** under *Upgrade connections to HTTPS*
- [x] (Optional) Select **Block Scripts** (1)
- [x] Check **Block fingerprinting**
- [x] Select **Block third-party cookies**
- [x] Check **Forget me when I close this site** (2)
- [ ] Uncheck all social media components

</div>

1. This option disables JavaScript, which will break a lot of sites. To fix them, you can set exceptions on a per-site basis by clicking on the Shield icon in the address bar and unchecking this setting under *Advanced controls*.
2. If you wish to stay logged in to a particular site you visit often, you can set exceptions on a per-site basis by clicking on the Shield icon in the address bar and unchecking this setting under *Advanced controls*.

#### Privacy and security

<div class="annotate" markdown>

- [x] Select **Don’t allow sites to use JavaScript optimization** under *Security* → *Manage JavaScript optimization & security* (1)
- [x] Select **Automatically remove permissions from unused sites** under *Sites and Shields Settings*
- [x] Select **Disable non-proxied UDP** under [*WebRTC IP Handling Policy*](https://support.brave.com/hc/articles/360017989132-How-do-I-change-my-Privacy-Settings#webrtc)
- [ ] Uncheck **Use Google services for push messaging**
- [x] Select **Auto-redirect AMP pages**
- [x] Select **Auto-redirect tracking URLs**
- [x] Select **Prevent sites from fingerprinting me based on my language preferences**

</div>

1. Disabling the V8 optimizer reduces your attack surface by disabling [*some*](https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112708049232710156) parts of JavaScript Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation.

##### Tor windows

[**Private Window with Tor**](https://support.brave.com/hc/articles/360018121491-What-is-a-Private-Window-with-Tor-Connectivity) allows you to route your traffic through the Tor network in Private Windows and access .onion services, which may be useful in some cases. However, Brave is **not** as resistant to fingerprinting as the Tor Browser is, and far fewer people use Brave with Tor, so you will stand out. If your threat model requires strong anonymity, use the [Tor Browser](tor.md#tor-browser).

##### Data Collection

- [ ] Uncheck **Allow privacy-preserving product analytics (P3A)**
- [ ] Uncheck **Automatically send daily usage ping to Brave**
- [ ] Uncheck **Automatically send diagnostic reports**

#### Web3

Brave's Web3 features can potentially add to your browser fingerprint and attack surface. Unless you use any of these features, they should be disabled.

- Select **Extensions (no fallback)** under *Default Ethereum wallet*
- Select **Extensions (no fallback)** under *Default Solana wallet*

#### Extensions

- [ ] Uncheck all built-in extensions you don't use

#### Search engine

We recommend disabling search suggestions in Brave for the same reason we recommend disabling this feature in [Firefox](#search).

-

#### System

<div class="annotate" markdown>

- [ ] Uncheck **Continue running background apps when Brave is closed** to disable background apps (1)

</div>

1. 플랫폼에 따라 해당 옵션이 제공되지 않을 수 있습니다.

#### Brave Sync

[Brave Sync](https://support.brave.com/hc/articles/360059793111-Understanding-Brave-Sync) allows your browsing data (history, bookmarks, etc.) to be accessible on all your devices without requiring an account and protects it with E2EE.

#### Brave Rewards and Wallet

**Brave Rewards** lets you receive Basic Attention Token (BAT) cryptocurrency for performing certain actions within Brave. It relies on a custodial account and KYC from a select number of providers. We do not recommend BAT as a [private cryptocurrency](cryptocurrency.md), nor do we recommend using a [custodial wallet](advanced/payments.md#wallet-custody), so we would discourage using this feature.

**Brave Wallet** operates locally on your computer, but does not support any private cryptocurrencies, so we would discourage using this feature as well.

## 평가 기준

**Privacy Guides는 권장 목록의 어떠한 프로젝트와도 제휴를 맺지 않았습니다.** 객관적인 권장 목록을 제공하기 위해, [일반적인 평가 기준](about/criteria.md)에 더해 명확한 요구 사항을 정립하였습니다. 어떠한 프로젝트를 선택해 사용하기 전에, 이러한 요구 사항들을 숙지하고 여러분 스스로 조사하는 과정을 거쳐 적절한 선택을 하시기 바랍니다.

### 최소 요구 사항

- 오픈 소스 소프트웨어여야 합니다.
- 자동 업데이트를 지원해야 합니다.
- Must receive engine updates in 0-1 days from upstream release.
- Must be available on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Any changes required to make the browser more privacy-respecting must not negatively impact user experience.
- Must block third-party cookies by default.
- Must support [state partitioning](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/Privacy/State_Partitioning) to mitigate cross-site tracking.[^1]

### 우대 사항

평가 기준에서 '우대 사항'은 해당 부문에서 완벽한 프로젝트에 기대하는 바를 나타냅니다. 다음의 우대 사항에 해당하지 않더라도 권장 목록에 포함될 수 있습니다. 단, 우대 사항에 해당할수록 이 페이지의 다른 항목보다 높은 순위를 갖습니다.

- Should include built-in content blocking functionality.
- Should support cookie compartmentalization (à la [Multi-Account Containers](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/containers)).
- Should support Progressive Web Apps (PWAs). PWAs enable you to install certain websites as if they were native apps on your computer. This can have advantages over installing Electron-based apps because PWAs benefit from your browser's regular security updates.
- Should not include add-on functionality (bloatware) that does not impact user privacy.
- Should not collect telemetry by default.
- Should provide an open-source sync server implementation.
- Should default to a [private search engine](search-engines.md).

[^1]: Brave's implementation is detailed at [Brave Privacy Updates: Partitioning network-state for privacy](https://brave.com/privacy-updates/14-partitioning-network-state).
