And if you think Firefox is better for privacy, think again. If you're using Firefox because you don't want Google to have your data... LOLOLOLOL.
"The release of the anti-phishing protection in Firefox 2 in particular raised considerable controversy:[36] Anti-phishing protection, enabled by default, is based on a list updated twice hourly from Google's servers.[37] The user cannot change the data provider within the GUI,[38] and is not informed who the default data provider is. The browser also sends Google's cookie with each update request.[39] Some[who?] internet privacy advocacy groups have expressed concerns surrounding Google's possible uses for this data, especially since Firefox's privacy policy states that Google may share (non-personally identifying) information gathered through safe browsing with third parties, including business partners.[40]"
Truth is all three mentioned browsers are data hogs for large corporations and third parties. But all three function well, including IE 11, and are about as equivalently secure. Use the one that works for you and your OS.
If you want real privacy, code your own browser. It's not impossible. :)
