How to anonymously browse the internet

So this is a really heated topic for common people now a days that "how can i be completely anonymous on the internet"

Well this is not about "completely", cause maybe that not really what you can do with that ease, I mean no one is stopping you from using tor, if you know how to, but lets assume you don't want to get in that much of trouble to setup tor and other stuff like proxychains.

So lets talk about the most basic way how you can not be easily tracked

So the basic way how you reach a website is you type a URL in the browser, your computer goes to a DNS server, grabs the IP address of the sever that's bound to that URL and then reaches out to that website. In this whole process you used two major things

  1. DNS
  2. Public IP

So if you hide these two things you'll be good to go for just normal use when you are not planning to do any mischief in others system, anyways here's the trick

Use a VPN and a Specific DNS

What i mean by this is just using these two basic things can hide your tracks much easily. Use any VPN you like but right now i'll stick to proton VPN as claimed by the company they have log-less systems, who knows, anyway this was about the VPN. I don't really know if this trick works with all DNS or just 1.1.1.1 but for now just use 1.1.1.1

The Trick

So the trick is to use both of these simultaneously which on default settings isn't really gonna work so what you have to do is that you have to go in 1.1.1.1 settings and just use its DNS and then you can use both of these together easily

most of it, because once you close the broser you opened using Ctr+shift+N, it wont save data in your system.

That's just on your side do you think the websites can't see you or maybe the browser provider🤨🤨
