How do I keep my online banking private when using Firefox as my browser? When using Google Chrome as my browser, I use incognito, but I'm changing to Firefox and need to know that my online banking is safe.

Hello,

Firefox and Chrome are both similar in terms of incognito modes, but Firefox has slightly more features.

similarities : Unsaved local history, and ISPs can still see your internet activity. (if you want to hide your activity from ISP, use a reputable VPN)

differences : Firefox has better tracker blockers (if enhanced tracking protection is enabled) but chrome only uses cookie restrictions. Also, firefox auto tries to make connections HTTPS

It is Private Browsing in the Firefox web browsers.

See also https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-myths-about-private-browsing as some may get the wrong idea of what Private Browsing or incognito does.
