Saving RAM costs might be okay to me. But don't save that stuff to the hard drive. My PC keeps those things like visited sites and history in its own place, right?
I don't know one that works right out of the box. But there are many with options like never saving your history or search results. You'll find them in the settings menu though, not immediately. I'm not sure about anything else that does this instantly. Firefox lets you stop things from happening and even delete everything when you close the browser. That includes both history and cookies plus all sorts of other data too. So while you can do what you want, you just have to go into settings and tick some boxes to make it happen.
Is it smart to hire someone to make things worse for us forever? And if that thing relies on Chromium, isn't it just like Google's browser with new stuff added by our guy?
I'm still figuring out the backstory behind this. Most browsers wipe everything when they close. A Linux Live USB goes even further—it doesn't write to any storage device at all. But what are we trying to protect against? What's your real threat model? Who else wants to see this?
bit of info on what you are trying to accomplish and why would go a long way for us to maybe offer a solution. it seems we have offered it already so we must not be understanding what you are looking for. could you provide some story here so we know what is needed here..
You are already getting some of this right. It's pretty much what USAFRet said before. There is a special portable operating system that lives in a flash USB drive and holds no programs at all. When you plug the next session in, it runs just like your first install. This thing is called Tails. You can use it on any computer. Look here for more info.
My story is pretty plain and normal. Sometimes I want to swap out my PC with someone else, or share my screen while hanging out on Zoom. Changing the default settings in popular browsers like Chrome or Firefox was what I've been trying lately, but that just doesn't work well for me. It seems like when these browsers get updated, those changes disappear again. Or if I reinstall them, or start with a brand new computer, I often forget to change them back. So my guess is: look for a browser where the settings stay nice and true. For now, I'm trying out LinuxUSB on my Windows PC. I hope it works well and lets me use all its features.
Sharing your computer with someone else means you just make separate logins. What happens in your Chrome tab never gets mixed up in their computer. But I also run several special computers on my own called "Virtual Machines." These are real PCs running Linux or Windows that live inside this one PC. If something needs to happen without touching the main machine, I can do it there instead. I use VirtualBox for this trick. The little guest OS is just a whole new PC with its own time zone and settings.
so running a live Linux disk or a virtual machine is usually the best choice for what you need. You can even use BitLocker to encrypt your virtual hard drive if you have Windows Pro installed. It's basically an entire operating system, so you can run Zoom and browsers just like that. You get a whole new computer dedicated solely to your tasks without having to reinstall anything. If you don't want Pro, no worries! Download it as an ISO file using the Media Creation Tool and then install it into your virtual machine while it's not activated. This means your settings won't matter because you'll be the only one accessing it.
