I use many versions /profiles of Firefox (ESR/Beta/Nightly) in portable mode, as well as many portable Chrome (Beta/Dev/Canary) or Chromium-based browsers such as "unGoogled" Chromium, Vivaldi, Slimjet, and Opera to do so. Rather than subscribe to a VPN, I hop from browser to browser every few days. And M$'s Bing defaults as the search engine for any other browser, unless the user is willing to dig through settings on Windows and browsers, and/or installs a search engine as an extension to change it. Microsoft Edge on Win 10/11 behaves like Chrome on Android, it can't be deleted, only deprecated.

But with Hyper V, GApps (Android), QEMU, or Virtual Box/Player, a Windows user can experiment with and learn how to use various distros in a virtualized state. The primary drawback to using smartphones and Linux/Unix distros is that they aren't amenable to portable software, unlike Windows OSes, which is why I always go back to primarily using Windows after awhile. Been using Firefox, since it was called Firebird, so its still my browser of choice! As it is for TOR. I tend to avoid using apps whenever possible, b/c they lock me into viewing their content w/o my having any input or control. Google Chrome is top dog mainly b/c it ships with Android OSes, and not many phone users opt for installing other web browsers from the Play Store, like the Chromium-based Bromite (fDroid) Yandex, Opera, or less install extensions that improve and enhance browsing functionality, and security/privacy.
