New browser: Aviator

https://www.whitehatsec.com/aviator/

It's a Chrome clone but with some added security features.

From the maker:

The WhiteHat Aviator Advantage

Go with a more complete solution. Make the most of a fully featured, modern, standards-compliant Web browser with complete private browsing. It also supports tens of thousands of extensions.

Use proven, open-source Chromium code. This is the same stable code base that Google uses—so you can add in any Chrome extension to WhiteHat Aviator;.

Take off with pre-set security. Just open WhiteHat Aviator for the best privacy and security safeguards—already preconfigured and active. Security is enabled by default.

Eliminate hidden tracking. Block privacy-destroying tracking from advertisers and social media companies using the Disconnect extension. No advertiser cookies, no caches, no problem.

Say goodbye to advertising . Unlike the big corporate browsers, we’re not partnering with advertisers or selling your click data.

Prevent unwanted access. Block internal address space to prevent malicious Web pages from hitting your websites, routers, and firewalls.

the NOT PROTECTED sign in the address bar when I browse DU or any site that requires cookies. I can live with that, it's doing its job correctly.
