Which one of these as a daily browser would be better for privacy?
Icecat seems really outdated
I'll admit I've never used it personally, but according to the wikipedia page it has been updated in the last two months.
I have been told that VPN's are bullshit because at the end of the day its just routing all my information through a third party anyways, and how can I be completely secure?
Its not completely secure, but its enough to change your IP (which will hide you from users) and hide you from advertising trackers.

I'm not looking for something to hide from agencies, I know that is a road I can't follow because I don't have the slightest clue about cyber security. I'm also not trying to do anything crazy, I just don't want to be tracked by users on the internet. If Alphabet wants to see the broccoli memes, so be it.
I know that isn't the right mentality to have. "IF you don't have anything to hide..." I hate that shtick. I just honestly am too lazy right now and am focused on other things in my life. I only want to stop advertisement trackers and stop any chance of being hacked.
So I looked at Icecat and TOR in a bit more detail. Icecat seems really outdated, TOR is really slow. I went with TOR Browser, its what I'm using right now to connect to this site. I like what it comes with, even if I really don't have the first clue what it actually is.
