Why Does Browser Privacy Matter With Age Verification? (2025/649)

Managing browser privacy has become increasingly important as age verification systems and digital identity frameworks are being developed in Australia. Many people don't realise how much data their browser shares by default, and with verified identity systems on the horizon, what was once anonymous tracking could become directly tied to your real identity. Understanding browser privacy settings and exploring privacy-focused alternatives gives you more control over your data collection footprint.

In this episode, Charly covers:

✅ What data your browser shares by default and how tracking works across websites
📌 Why browser privacy matters more when verified identity systems are being implemented
🔗 How Brave Browser reduces tracking and what makes it different from Chrome, Edge, and Safari
🛡️ The tradeoffs you'll face with privacy-focused browsers and when mainstream browsers might be necessary
📌 How GDPR affects tracking and what Australian users need to know
✅ Practical steps for switching to a privacy-focused browser and syncing across devices
